The gray-market drugs flooding Silicon Valley reveal a community that believes it can move faster than the F.D.A.

Over on YouTube [Lockdown Electronics] reviews an old bit of kit known as the Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). Invented in the 1950s the SCR is a type of thyristor and they were popular back in ...

Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

A pioneering team of scientists at Simon Fraser University have created a new type of silicon-based quantum device controlled both optically and electrically. A pioneering team of scientists at Simon ...

Historically, making a thin phone meant trading the usual battery for one that's slimmer and less robust. And what good is a thin phone with poor battery life? Up-and-coming silicon-carbon battery ...

For over 75 years, silicon has been the dominant material in the evolution of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. But as chipmakers push toward smaller nodes, ...

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller for precision control of lamp-based heating applications. Delivering unprecedented speed and ...

Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), also called thyristors, are semiconductor power devices with a four-layer three-way junction framework (PNPN). Because its intro in the 1950s, SCRs have been ...
