Opinion: For designers, where does 'creative spark' originate? Nov 17, 2009
In everyday language, the proposition states that within a formal system (math, an electronic circuit, a logic circuit) it is possible to come up with a solution that cannot be proved from the axioms and rules of that system. G. (EETimes)
Nigeria: The Auto Mechanics' Alarm Nov 16, 2009
"Their knowledge of most new systems in modern vehicles are generally low, while their inability to read and interpret electronic circuit diagrams is also a big problem," Jalal said, adding bluntly that "our mechanics cannot repair many of the vehicles plying the Nigerian roads today.". We believe the threat is real, and it is the reason we commend the collaboration of the National Automotive Council (NAC), Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity and the German Technical Automobile...

Metal Created That Pumps Liquid Uphill Jun 3, 2009
"Imagine a huge waterway system shrunk down onto a tiny chip, like the electronic circuit printed on a microprocessor, so we can perform chemical or biological work with a tiny bit of liquid," says Guo. "Blood could precisely travel along a certain path to a sensor for disease diagnostics. With such a tiny system, a nurse wouldn't need to draw a whole tube of blood for a test. A scratch on the skin might contain more than enough cells for a micro-analysis.". (Science Daily)
Breakthrough In Quantum Control Of Light May 31, 2009
In a paper published in the journal Nature, UCSB physics researchers Max Hofheinz, John Martinis, and Andrew Cleland document how they used a superconducting electronic circuit known as a Josephson phase qubit to prepare highly unusual quantum states using microwave-frequency photons. The breakthrough is the result of four years of work in the laboratories of Cleland and Martinis. (Science Daily)
My View: University of California can't afford to compete with private industry May 27, 2009
As an engineer, and former professor of engineering, university dean, provost and expert in electronic circuit design, Katehi could probably make a boatload of money doing something else. That's an argument that's been used to justify the multimillion dollar salaries of researchers, executives and professors at some private colleges as reported in February for the 2006-07 year by the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Quantum dance: discovery could revolutionize computing Feb 19, 2009
"It's a very fundamental piece of new physics -- it goes beyond what you would typically learn in a quantum physics textbook. In principle, you can use this new quantum dance of electrons to construct a very bizarre electronic circuit.". Computer designers could employ the quantum effect to construct machines with a far more subtle range of processing options than the simple "on" or "off" logic that now exists, the researchers said.

ACS Weekly PressPac -- Feb. 11, 2009 Feb 17, 2009
They describe development of a new recycling process that can convert discarded electronic circuit boards into an asphalt "modifier." The material makes high-performance paving material asphalt that is cheaper, longer lasting, and more environmentally friendly than conventional asphalt, the scientists report. In the new study, Zhenming Xu and colleagues note that millions of tons of electronic waste (e-waste) pile up each year. (EurekAlert!)
