What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

Researchers have built logic circuits, the heart of all electronic gadgets, on molybdenum disulfide films that are two molecular layers thick (Nano Lett., DOI: 10.1021/nl302015v). The devices are the ...

Diodes, logic gates and sensors can be built from metal nanoparticles coated with charged organic ligands. Nanoparticles have been used extensively as an electrode material 7,8, but are generally poor ...

Engineers have created genetic circuits in bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions, but also remember the results, which are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of ...

A basic Arduino board adds creativity, flexibility, and interactivity to your home lab. It costs little but opens countless doors for learning, experimentation, and automation. Whether you use it for ...

Measurement systems often usecameras and other sensors thatrequire synchronization. This DesignIdea describes an aerial-photographysystem that uses a camera comprisingCCD (charge-coupled-device) ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...
