The goal of this series is to maximize the voltage gain of the single transistor amplifier. I had always thought that hFE had a profound effect upon voltage gain, so I set out to determine how ...

Flexible pressure sensors are essential parts of an electronic skin to allow future biomedical prostheses and robots to naturally interact with humans and the environment. Mobile biomonitoring in long ...

An optical scanning array based on high-quality organic transistors and photodiodes on a clear plastic sheet could revolutionize scanning systems. Developed by the University of Tokyo's Quantum Phase ...
