Where there is power there is heat, and where there is heat there is often a need to sense temperature (the most widely sensed physical variable). What we call temperature is our measurement of a ...

(Nanowerk News) In preparation for the commencement of the true IoT era, energy harvesting technologies, which transform the minute sources of energy in the surrounding environment into electricity, ...

In many applications where the input is not under system control but rather connects to the outside world, such as test equipment, instrumentation, and some sensing equipment, it is possible for input ...

If you are looking to replace halogen bulbs with LEDs, combining a rectifier bridge and a current-controlled synchronous step-up/step-down converter creates a high power factor driver circuit, writes ...

The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Fujitsu Limited, and the Tokyo Metropolitan University announced that they developed a highly sensitive rectifying element in the form of a nanowire ...
