A range of new crystals and crystal oscillators supports Texas Instruments' 1394b FireWire products, such as the TI TSB41BA3 device. The crystals and crystal oscillators have a fundamental frequency ...

Reading Steve Leibson’s comment on the relatively recent use of crystals for electronics reference frequencies made me remember my lab partner at UC Irvine in the 70s, who was an amazing ham guy, ...

In an advance that could open new avenues for solar cells, lasers, metamaterials and more, researchers at the University of Illinois have demonstrated the first optoelectronically active 3-D photonic ...

The virus responsible for E. coli infection has a secret weapon: teamwork. Always scrappy in its bid for survival, the virus alights on an unassuming host cell and grips the surface with the business ...

(Nanowerk News) Has the time come to replace traditionally used silicon with printable organic semiconductor inks? University of Surrey scientists believe so, especially for future electronics that ...

In a study published in Nature, scientists from Johns Hopkins University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Washington have discovered a new class of quantum states in a ...

Giving us further hope for a future without silicon circuitry, researchers have shown that transparent, photoconductive crystals can become conductors in when exposed to light. So much so in fact, ...

A method for growing organic semiconducting crystals onto a surface could lead to better flexible electronic devices and video displays, researchers claim. Transistors made from thin films of organic ...

Parades dancing through the streets are common during celebrations like Mardi Gras. And now, it may become more common in electronics like your smart phone too, thanks to newly published research from ...

Crystals won't do anything to cure diseases, despite the latest health craze floating around, but here's something they can do: cool down your computer. Researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

Computer chips and storage elements are expected to function as quickly as possible and be energy-saving at the same time. Innovative spintronic modules are at an advantage here thanks to their high ...

I always look at boring old USB drives and ask, “Why can’t these be jewel-encrusted?” Ditto for my run-of-the-mill earbuds, which seem to lack some kind of large embedded crystal. Believe it or not, ...
