Materials with negative linear compressibility are sought for various technological applications. Such effects were reported mainly in framework materials. When heated, they typically contract in the ...

The vast majority of materials shrink in all directions when hydrostatically compressed; exceptions include certain metallic or polymer foam structures, which may exhibit negative linear ...

Make sure you are confident in calculating with negative numbers, which is a skill often needed to solve equations. To solve the equation, do the inverse operation. The inverse of multiplying by 12 is ...

Low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators have been widely used in noise-sensitive applications for decades. Nevertheless, noise requirements have become tougher to meet as the latest precision sensors, ...

AGC (automatic-gain-control) amplifiers use the nonlinear characteristics of control devices. The magnitude of the real component in some of their differential parameters changes depending on ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
