The most obvious way to get rid of ambient noise is to employ some form of passive or active noise cancellation (ANC). The type of ANC we’re familiar with today was coined in 1989 by Dr. Amar Bose ...

Random telegraph noise (RTN) in semiconductors is typically caused by two-state defects. Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered magnetic materials are expected to exhibit large fluctuations ...

A technical paper titled “Electronic Noise Spectroscopy of Quasi-2D van der Waals Antiferromagnetic Semiconductors” was published by researchers at University of California Los Angeles. “We ...

What is high-voltage CMOS isolation? A look at ohmic contact substrates. Techniques for isolating RD-SOI devices. When a SiC DC solid-state switch is operating, a large temperature difference will ...

A collaborative team from the Rosalind Franklin Institute, the University of Oxford, and Diamond Light Source has developed a breakthrough method that makes it possible to image very small proteins ...

Noise-canceling headphones regularly top lists of essential travel gadgets, but are they worth it? By Geoffrey Morrison A little bit of silence. Sometimes that’s all we want. Whether it’s halfway ...

Ask enough sleep nerds about the best sound machines and two very different front-runners will ultimately emerge: the Dohm and the LectroFan. The Dohm, sold by a company called Yogasleep, is a ...

When I was young and foolish -- as opposed to my current state of being, in which one of these descriptors is surplus to requirements -- I regarded most forms of noise as being my enemy. So, you can ...
