When Traces Melt: Figures 1 and 2 (Note 1) illustrate traces on two different boards. Each figure illustrates the trace at the moment it fuses (melts) due to a significant current overload. The fusing mechanisms are clearly different. So what was different? Here is the first hint. Assume there is a current that is just …
In the early 1980’s, the Italian kitchen appliance company Zanussi launched a new Jetsystem washing machine coupled to what was to become one of the world’s most successful marketing campaigns – the ‘appliance of science’. It rhymes and has a double meaning but the three words also convey a message that science has been applied …
What did Galileo and Karl Jansky have in common? In 1610, Galileo looked up at the stars through his latest invention, a prototype for the modern day refractor telescope. In 1931 Karl Jansky accidentally discovered radio astronomy when investigating background static on Bell Labs short wave transatlantic radio phone service. Radio astronomers explore the outer …
