These are the basic building blocks of modern computation. Semiconductor devices called transistors are the tiny electronic switches that run computations inside our computers. Scientists in the ...

An all-optical fiber-optic switching device that maintains the signal as light from input to output. Traditional switches that connect optical fiber lines are electro-optic. They convert photons ...

This ceramic-based mirror-image function of a conventional thermal switch instead electrically controls flow of thermal ...

It carries the capability to manage or modify current or voltage flow, amplify and produce electrical signals, and act as a switch or gate. The impressive fact is that trillions of these transistors ...

In order to maintain a modern and reliable power grid, Rhode Island Energy has invested $3 million to install 40 smart ...
