A thin-film transistor (TFT) is a special kind of field-effect transistor made by depositing thin films of an active semiconductor layer as well as the dielectric layer and metallic contacts over a...
Immunotherapy is the "treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response".[1] Immunotherapies designed to elicit or amplify an immune response are classified as activati...
In engineering, electromechanics[1][2] combines electrical and mechanical processes and procedures drawn from electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Electrical engineering in this conte...
A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms. The bond is caused by the electrostatic force of attraction between o...
Optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices that source, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisibl...
Multi-Layer Electronic Devices
A nanostructure is a structure of intermediate size between microscopic and molecular structures. Nanostructural detail is microstructure at nanoscale.
The first successful light bulb filaments were made of carbon (from carbonized paper or bamboo). Early carbon filaments had a negative temperature coefficient of resistance — as they got hotter, th...
An electric field is generated by electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields. The electric field describes the electric force experienced by a motionless positively charged tes...

Nucleic acid manipulation
A ribozyme (ribonucleic acid enzyme) is an RNA molecule that is capable of catalyzing specific biochemical reactions, similar to the action of protein enzymes. The 1982 discovery of ribozymes demon...
Vibration detection
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical chemistry technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio and abundance of gas-phase ions.[1] A mass spectrum (plural spectra) is a plot of the ion signal a...
Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the workpieces and adding a filler mater...
A polyolefin is any of a class of polymers produced from a simple olefin (also called an alkene with the general formula CnH2n) as a monomer. For example, polyethylene is the polyolefin produced by...
E-beam lithography
Perchlorate is a toxic byproduct of the production of a rocket fuel and fireworks. Low levels of perchlorate have been detected in both drinking water and groundwater in 26 states in the U.S., acco...
