Inside a ferroelectric RAM chip
Ferroelectric memory (FRAM) is an interesting storage technique that stores bits in a special "ferroelectric" material. Ferroelectric memory is nonvolatile like flash memory, able to hold its data for decades. But, unlike flash, ferroelectric memory can write data rapidly. Moreover, FRAM is much more durable than flash and can be be written trillions of times. With these advantages, you might wonder why FRAM isn't more popular. The problem is that FRAM is much more expensive than flash, so it is only used in niche applications.

Домашняя мастерская. Большое рабочее место с вытяжным зонтом
Речь идёт о реорганизации в домашней деревенской лаборатории-мастерской — изначально универсальном помещении для некрупного технического творчества. Пристрастившись к стеклодувному делу, переоборудовал для огневых работ на горелке имевшийся небольшой стол с вытяжкой для крупной пайки — сборки витражей в технике Тиффани, электромонтажных дел. Чуть освоившись, понятным образом наткнулся на естественные ограничения: мало места, опасно иметь дело с более или менее крупными огнями, много света из окна заставляет работать преимущественно вечером, негде поставить баллоны. Принято волевое решение оборудовать специальное рабочее место с учётом обнаруженных недостатков. Читать дальше →

Изготовление лампы с цоколем упрощённого типа
Речь идёт об опытах и экспериментах на пути к изготовлению более или менее практических электровакуумных приборов (ЭВП) в домашней лаборатории-мастерской. Стоит сказать: выводы ЭВП — спай разнородных материалов, сложное и ответственное место любой лампы. Говоря о конструкции, классическая гребешковая ножка [1] покрывает все любительские потребности, однако её изготовление, тем более из легкоплавкого стекла платиновой группы, склонного к растрескиванию из-за высокого температурного коэффициента расширения (ТКР) — многостадийный процесс, имеющий несколько длительных промежуточных отжигов. Что удлиняет и удорожает изготовление. Однако ряд приборов можно сделать с упрощённым цоколем и проволочными выводами, быстрее, удобнее, дешевле. Читать дальше →
