Shennan Circuits has focused more on automotive PCBs and IC substrates following shrinkages in shipments for 5G infrastructure applications in 2020, according to the China-based PCB vendor......»»
Activity In Brain"s Risk Circuits Can Forecast Changes In Stock Prices
According to a new study published today in JNeurosci, it may now be possible to forecast changes in stock prices by examining brain activity in regions associated with anxiety and risk-avoidance. "Scientists could accurately forecast market price ch.....»»
Researchers probe the "full" thermoelectric properties of a single molecule
One of the dreams of physicists today is being able to harvest electricity back from dissipated heat. The key to this probably resides in circuits that contain single molecules. Instead of being limited to classical conductance, the thermopower can b.....»»
