With all the cameras, sensors and other devices designed for driver comfort and safety, today's cars house more than 2000 electrical connectors. And these connectors need to provide uninterrupted ...

We are living in the age of electronics. New cars won't run without a couple dozen engine and drivetrain sensors, not to mention the hundreds of electronic connections that make up the audio and ...

Electrical circuits are constantly being scaled down and extended with specific functions. A new method now allows electrical contact to be established with simple molecules on a conventional silicon ...

The sliding electrical contacts found in instrument quality slip rings must reliably conduct signals onto or off of rotating platforms. The signal quality is typically evaluated by measuring the noise ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of Skoltech scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the IBM Watson Research Center, have shed light on the behavior of electrical contacts in carbon semiconductor ...

The study of interfaces on the nanoscale is having a profound impact on the understanding of how electron charge transport (electrical current flow) occurs between two electrical conductors in contact ...
