LED drivers that receive their power from a single cell are receiving a great deal of attention. To generate the high voltage for illuminating a white LED from a low-voltage power supply basically ...

All sorts of counterintuitive behavior happens with regularity in the quantum realm, but very little of that bleeds over into the world of classical mechanics that the human senses occupy. We can ...

Sand 9 has launched Piezo-electric MEMS timing device based on its patented Temperature Compensated MEMS Oscillator (TCMO) platform. Sand 9 says the TM651 exceeds the performance of quartz in several ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — MEMS oscillators harness electrostatic forces rather than relying on the piezoelectric effect used in traditional quartz crystals. But silicon resonators are less stable than quartz, ...

Imperial College is developing an implantable passive blood pressure monitor based around a SAW (surface acoustic wave) oscillator. “In essence, it is an oscillator that you can ping from the outside ...

In recent years, with the growing concerns over environmental protection and human health, environment-friendly materials have received increasing attention, and for decades researchers have been ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwired - Nov 18, 2013) - Sand 9, Inc. today became the first micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) company to achieve the stringent low-noise, high-stability and harsh ...

(Nanowerk News) Moving closer to the possibility of "materials that compute" and wearing your computer on your sleeve, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering have ...

Quartz is used in watches as it acts as a piezoelectric oscillator. Quartz is used in watches as it acts as a piezoelectric oscillator. As a potential difference is applied across quartz, stress is ...

Researchers have designed a responsive hybrid material that is fueled by an oscillatory chemical reaction and can perform computations based on changes in the environment or movement, and potentially ...
