Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

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 ...

ST’s VIPerGaN50W houses a 700-V GaN power transistor, flyback controller, and gate driver in a compact 5×6-mm QFN package. The quasi-resonant offline converter delivers up to 75 W from high-line input ...

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 ...

New series of flyback converters simplify design and silence audible noise STMicroelectronics is introducing a series of GaN flyback converters that are said to simplify designing and building compact ...

Abstract: The flyback converter presents itself as a compelling choice for DC-DC conversion in a wide range of applications, owing to the appealing advantages it offers. However, the overall ...

One of the more intriguing but frustrating watches on the market over the past few years has been the Longines Spirit Flyback. Here was a mechanical flyback chronograph from the brand that literally ...

ABSTRACT: Efficient and reliable Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is crucial for photovoltaic (PV) systems, particularly under rapidly changing irradiance and temperature. This paper proposes an ...
