Toshiba has introduced two photorelays in  4-pin SO6 packages, for security systems, building automation and other industrial equipment. The devices, designated TLP170AM and TLP170GM, have a trigger LED current of 1mA, which reduces input side power loss by increasing the sensitivity of the photodiode array. Using these photorelays for ON/OFF control in battery-powered security devices ...

Researchers using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan have made a breakthrough in blue quantum dot fluorescence. Quantum dots are nanocrystals that glow and, when they glow, they creates very pure light in a precise wavelength of red, blue or green. Blue-glowing quantum dots have proved particularly challenging for researchers. However, ...
