Inductance is the link between electric circuits and magnetic fields. Voltage and current sine waves are in-phase when they peak and cross the zero axis at the same time. However, this rarely happens ...
Circuit breakers are used in nearly all electrical systems — from residential dwellings to electric utility facilities. We rely on them to protect our systems from damaging overcurrents and short ...
Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers contain two different switching mechanisms, a bimetal switch and an electromagnet. The bimetal serves as a means of handling overcurrents. The bimetal typically sits ...
MIT engineers developed a magnetic transistor that could lead to smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics, using a magnetic semiconductor material.
Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...
If you think shorting a transformer’s winding means big sparks and fried wires: think again. In this educational video, titled The Magnetic Bypass, [Sam Ben-Yaakov] flips this assumption. By cleverly ...

MIT demonstrates magnetic transistor with 10x stronger switching and built-in memory
The MIT team turned to chromium sulfur bromide, a two-dimensional material that acts as a magnetic semiconductor. Its structure allows researchers to switch between two magnetic states with precision.
