When working around mains voltages, it can be useful to know whether a given circuit is live or not. While this can be done by direct connection with a multimeter, non-contact methods are available ...

Simple Sound Processor presented here is an ultra-simple circuit module suitable for almost all basic electronics and microcontroller projects. For example, this module can be used as a front-end in ...

A relatively simple circuit invented by researchers at the University of Texas could let smartphones and other wireless devices send and receive data twice as fast as they do now. This circuit could ...

The circuit in this Design Ideauses a simple comparator circuitto make a power-on time delay for anautomotive rearview camera. Automanufacturers typically power reverse-viewcameras from the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In some situations, it becomes necessary to drive a MOSFET (or IGBT) with a voltage that’s lower than its ...

If you cultivate an interest in building radios it’s likely that you’ll at some point make a simple receiver. Perhaps a ...

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...

The fruit fly brain has long been used to study how neural circuits self-assemble. Credit: Hiesinger et al. / Cell 2005 Think the rat’s nest of cables under your desk is bad? Try keeping the trillions ...

Novation teased us back in February with the Circuit Rhythm, but we had almost no information beyond the fact that it was sample-based and what we were able to tease out of the labels on the front.
