Beyond Silicon: Emerging Materials for Next-Generation Electronics In the realm of electronics engineering, innovation is the driving force propelling us into the future. For decades, silicon has been the cornerstone of electronic devices, powering everything from smartphones to supercomputers. However, as technology evolves and demands for faster, smaller, and more efficient devices increase, researchers are looking beyond silicon to explore a myriad of emerging materials that hold the promise of revolutionizing the field of electronics.   The Limitations of Silicon Silicon has served us well, but it has its limitations. As devices become smaller and more powerful, silicon-based transistors are approaching the physical limits of miniaturization. This phenomenon, known as Moore's Law, which predicts the doubling of transistor density approximately every two years, is becoming increasingly challenging to sustain with silicon-based technology alone. Moreover, silicon has inhere

PCB Design Basics: A Beginner's Guide to Designing Printed Circuit Boards   Introduction Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the backbone of modern electronics. They provide a stable and reliable platform for electronic components to connect and communicate with each other. Behind every successful PCB lies careful planning, meticulous design, and expert craftsmanship. In this comprehensive guide, Let's go on an adventure to understand all about making circuit boards. We'll learn everything from how to arrange the parts on the board to the best ways to make it in the factory.   PCB Design Basics PCB design involves creating a physical layout of a circuit on a board. The layout includes the placement of electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits, as well as the routing of electrical connections between them. 1.      PCB design starts with a schematic, which is a diagram of the circuit. The schematic shows the connections between the
