Normally when a spiral shield is used on a cable it is for one of three reasons, increased flexibility, ease of termination, or reduced manufacturing costs. Let's consider the differences between a ...

Simulation and modeling of radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) inductors is a difficult task, where several common problems and pitfalls are possible. There are critical issues that must be ...

It might look like a roll of chicken wire, but this tiny cylinder of carbon atoms -- too small to see with the naked eye -- could one day be used for making electronic devices ranging from night ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210119 discusses how active odd-mode-metachannel can provide a new avenue to future single-conductor systems. Planar ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...

Scientists at Duke University have developed a method that switches a carbon nanotube from acting like a metal to acting like a semiconductor and back again, by wrapping it with a ribbon-like polymer.
