Bootstrap circuits are widely used in dc-dc converters to serve as top-side bias voltage supplies. After explaining how bootstrap circuits work, this article will show how versatile they can be. One ...

Scientists at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have demonstrated a triple-junction solar cell with a perovskite-perovskite-silicon subcell configuration. They said the cell ...

Synthetic biology researchers have demonstrated a new method for digital information processing in living cells, analogous to the logic gates used in electric circuits. The circuits are the largest ...

Danish researchers have built a selenium solar cell with the highest open-circuit voltage ever reported. They said that with further improvements in the optoelectronic quality of selenium, the device ...

Researchers have identified the two key circuits that control a cell's ability to adapt to changes in its environment, a finding that could have applications ranging from diabetes and autoimmune ...

Building circuits isn’t common in biotech labs, particularly labs developing cell-based therapies for cancer. Tim Lu, who studied computer science and electrical engineering as an undergraduate before ...

Over the past few decades, we have seen remarkable advances in technologies for reading (sequencing) and writing (synthesizing) DNA. These technologies have enabled us to decipher disease. Now they ...

Synthetic biology (SynBio) is an emerging discipline that attempts to reprogram and design the cells’ genetic materials, converting them into controllable and computerized bio-devices. In its essence, ...

Biologists have created a protein unlike any found in nature, with the power to toggle a cell’s functions on and off. The scientists linked the artificial proteins together into circuits and ...

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health ...

It is easy enough to make software do what you want it to. You could tell your email client to recognise and immediately delete any unwanted messages – say, any from your mother-in-law that contain ...
