Brief, high-power pulses of electrical energy throbbing through intricate circuitry are the heartbeats of modern radar. But they are the bane of many an electronics engineer. Sometimes the ...

The electrical characteristics of new thin-film chromium oxide resistors can be tuned by controlling the oxygen content. Researchers have made new compact, high-value resistors for nanoscale quantum ...

There is more to resistor precision than meets the eye. The three basic types of resistors — bulk metal foil, thin film, and thick film — are alike on the surface and may often have similar purchase ...

Welwyn started making resistors in Bedlington Northumberland in 1946, and it is still making resistors there, in a growing facility, with technology that is in demand worldwide. When Mercedes needed ...

In addition, automotive electronic designs must withstand harsh environmental factors including high temperatures, sulfur, and moisture. And medical electronic devices must withstand electrical and ...

One example of an application that requires high-value resistors is the quantum phase-slip (QPS) circuit. A QPS circuit is made from very narrow wires of superconducting material that can exploit a ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., December 9, 2014 - Researchers from the London Centre for Nanotechnology have made new compact, high-value resistors for nanoscale quantum circuits. The resistors could speed the ...
