Japanese researchers have added another tool to the toolbox for DNA molecular electronics. Not yet possible in any useful sense, DNA has the potential to be the backbone for molecular electronic circuits – electronics at the smallest scale – and towards this scientist are hunting through its structure and testing modifications to find useful non-linear ...

Texas Instruments has introduced an IC to mediate between a power rail, a load and a back-up supercapacitor. All the time sufficient voltage is available at the input, the input is connected directly (with no regulation) to the output to feed the load and a buck converter keeps the capacitor charged. When the input drops ...
