The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

Choosing the right capacitor, especially the right tantalum capacitor, is crucial to ensure equipment reliability both at first turn-on and over time. Always consider derating to achieve the best ...

This newsletter explores SiC solutions, ultracapacitors for EVs, flyback converters, and semiconductor simulation for advanced power electronics.

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...

It’s a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden pop, a gruesome spill, or sometimes a burst of flames. And it was allegedly ...

Introduction: Amidst the rapidly growing development of wearable electronics, their dependence on external power sources increases the power expense while leading to interruptions of their operation ...

The new SpiCAT SpiSCAP online engineering simulation software makes it easy for engineers to evaluate and select SCC and SCM Series supercapacitors designed to overcome common power challenges in ...

SpiCAT online simulation software makes it easy for engineers to identify the unique characteristics of a wide variety of KYOCERA AVX components, including multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), ...
