It always makes me smile when I hear the term "8-bit" used to describe art. The strict hardware and software limitations of early computers spawned a complete visual aesthetic!

It seems like the most immediate way to meet low-cost but high volume is through in vitro meat culture [1]. It will likely take awhile to clear the health and GMO-fear hurdles, but it's coming. Especially places where raising livestock

In a real-time system at work, we originally used Redis as a locking mechanism to avoid resource contention. However, it turned out the better long-term solution was to better use our reliable message broker and make tasks finer grain. So,

Neither tool has a good way to do matched-impedance traces. Both rely on scripting or a plugin to do this, and the feedback is not real-time nor can you make design rules on matched nets. Also, neither tool integrates smoothly with simulati

Wouldn't some of what this article describes happen simply because of specialization? As the knowledge in a field broadens, no one person, less so a person outside the field, can read and keep up with the publications. Therefore a sin

Not an ignorant question at all! This is actually a subtle problem in switching regulator design: high duty-cycle operation and efficiency. Basically, if you input a voltage very close to the output voltage, the switch part of a switching r

I would guess even less than 24. Today you can write your structural Verilog implementation, run an automatic mapping to a PDK standard cell library, and simulate to verify. The hardest part might be floor planning for something like that t

It's too bad ultrasonic transducers this size (~16mm) are too large to make a linear phased array with high angle range and low grating lobes [1]. This means that a different object or particle might be manipulated simultaneously with

Gallium-Arsenisde has a high switching speed because of the higher carrier mobility, but the higher frequency applications it is used in dissipate high power. This article's transistors will not likely have a high switching speed, just

I agree so far as some progressive activists are fighting against being offended rather than fighting for rights. No person has a right not to be offended, and not every creative piece should be required to target all demographics. Yes, law
