The name of the project -- "photonic neuron" -- was catchy enough, but what really caught Mitchell Nahmias' attention was the opportunity to combine his interests in engineering and neuroscience.

The software speeds up electrical design by eliminating time-consuming, manual steps, making work easier and more reliable.

Hiring an electrician to perform electrical work in your home isn’t just about saving yourself a bit of manual labor. Home fire safety is one of the most crucial components of the electrical building ...

NFPA 70E requires that those performing the lockout/tagout (LOTO) review documentation (including up-to-date drawings and diagrams) to ensure that no electrical circuit interlock operation can result ...

Design, prototype and test individual projects involving microprocessors and related devices such as PAL/FPGA and special purpose ICs. Embedded-system tools such as special purpose compilers and ICE ...

With this sound activated switch, control by sound may be very useful, not just on a robot but also for a bit of home automation, for example a sound-activated light responding to a knock on the door ...

For the first time researchers have run an electrical circuit entirely off power in trees. The findings suggest a new power source for wireless sensors -- and a way to monitor tree health. You've ...

An electromechanical engineering degree that explores the fundamentals of mechatronics, which involves the integration of mechanics, electrical circuits, microprocessors, mathematics, materials ...

In a circuit panel, every circuit must be identified as to its specific purpose or use [as per Sec. 408.4(A) of the National Electrical Code]. This identification must be made: In a circuit directory ...

A circuit is a closed loop containing various components. Electrical current flows around the circuit. Scientists use symbols to represent the different components in a circuit. Symbols are simplified ...

Using SPICE to simulate an electrical circuit is a common enough practice in engineering that “SPICEing a circuit” is a perfectly valid phrase in the lexicon. SPICE as a software tool has been around ...
