LEDs form an inevitable part in the modern electronics as simple indicators to optical communication devices. Light Emitting Diodes exploit the property of the p-n junction to emit photons when it is ...

Infrastructure projects like the Tokyo Gate Bridge are now turning to LED lighting because of its economical and environmental advantages. But these devices still need the right current-limiting ...

Electronics are a hot topic today, and kids are eager to master the fundamentals of this interesting and important branch of technology. Here is a basic electronics course for kids that will teach and ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

I don’t know about you, but although I like reading about electronics in a theoretical sort of way, there’s nothing I enjoy more than the hands-on building of something and then watching that thing ...

An international team has cracked a challenge that could herald a new era of ultra-high-density computing. For years engineers and scientists around the world have been trying to make smaller and ...

The human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes, according to new tests. Both technologies pass ...

Physicists in Japan have made a diode that emits light at the shortest wavelength ever. The device, made by Yoshitaka Taniyasu and colleagues at NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Atsugi, is made from ...
