There's been a lot of justifiable interest in silicon- and MEMS-based oscillators, in place of the venerable quartz-crystal structure. But the reality is that the quartz oscillator embodiment is still ...

In many ways, electronic products resemble living organisms. For example, they have a central brain that might be a very simple 8-bit MCU or an extremely complex, multicore SoC. Their circulatory ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their ...

Although studies have attempted to fabricate tuning forks using lithium niobate crystals, their detection performance has not met expectations with no significant difference from standard QTFs, due to ...
