Has been done for decades. Buried capacitance materials like FaradFlex MC12TM exist and are really good, but are not too often used.

The (more common) package has very precise solder bumps. You can have a special order for one with ENIG finish as well, but this only makes sense if you have a really good use case…

Length of this capacitor is close to half-wavelength of 220 GHz (in vacuum). Using siblings of this broadband capacitor (40 GHz, same package) in some designs. In assembly, those r…

One scanner has way more than one channel…

0.018 kilotons. Order of magnitude smaller at minimum.

Jobs would have been lost with that move...

Have you tried Affinity Photo?

2/156 lost for Soyuz in 59 years, 2/135 for Space Shuttle in 30 years. Same rate. People often underestimate how intense STS actually was.

In QC, keeping cold is not just needed to superconduct, but to reduce thermal noise to level below the energy levels operated at.

I am using Leo Bodnar’s fast pulse generator (SMA) in my lectures to teach transmission lines. With sufficient length (I use ~1m) it works quite well to demo with a low cost scope.…

> Except that after 11 years the equipment will have broken down or be obsolete, at which point you have to start over. If my calculations are correct, that setup probably lasts at…

A similar concept has been used for university lectures to start 15 minutes after the full hour. This was due to nobody having watches and everything being synced to the church bel…

In my EU country Gardasil 9 is the most common HPV vaccine nowadays. This protects against 9 most common strains. I would assume the same is true in other countries. We have gone f…

If the input to the weather forecast is mostly /dev/random, then yes, that is called a lie. There is a very big difference between modelling chaotic systems and providing random no…

Taiwan strait is filled with offshore wind turbines from both sides. This is not an issue for PRC nor Taiwan.

Few things for starters: - you have to look at it in frequency domain as well; - speed of light is too slow; - often capacitors are inductors, even more so when mounted on PCB; - c…

Most common quaternary storage system is probably DNA.

Funny thing is, that news, by definition, are written about things that are newsworthy. Newsworthy things are not common, but exceptional and rare. Thus one shall not worry too muc…

In signal you can change your username any time.

The funny thing is, that MM in roman numerals means 2000.

It is to avoid confusing with "M", mīlle -- Latin for "thousand". Quite common in financial world still.

HOA = Homeowner association Took me a while to figure this out.
