Diamond-Based MOSFETs Are Now Real
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diamond-based-mosfets-now-real/
A research group at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed logic circuits equipped with diamond-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) at two different operation modes – a first step toward the development of diamond integrated circuits operational under extreme environments. Is Diamond Suitable for this? In fact, diamond has high carrier mobility, a high […]

How to Select a Voltage Regulator
https://www.electronics-lab.com/select-voltage-regulator/
Sanket @ octopart.com tipped us with his latest blog post about voltage regulators and how to select them. All electronics projects need power. Power can come from either stored energy in a battery, or directly from mains AC voltage or DC power from renewable sources such as solar energy. Power Management ICs (PMICs) help manage […]

Water Splitting With Solar Energy
https://www.electronics-lab.com/water-splitting-with-solar-energy/
Using solar energy to split water provides an efficient way for large scale renewable energy conversion and storage. A group of researchers from TUDelft and AMOLF have successfully developed an efficient and stable photo-electrode that could improve water splitting with solar energy. This photoelectrode absorbs light and directly decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen. In addition to the […]
