The most obvious way to get rid of ambient noise is to employ some form of passive or active noise cancellation (ANC). The type of ANC we’re familiar with today was coined in 1989 by Dr. Amar Bose ...

Random telegraph noise (RTN) in semiconductors is typically caused by two-state defects. Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered magnetic materials are expected to exhibit large fluctuations ...

A technical paper titled “Electronic Noise Spectroscopy of Quasi-2D van der Waals Antiferromagnetic Semiconductors” was published by researchers at University of California Los Angeles. “We ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...

A collaborative team from the Rosalind Franklin Institute, the University of Oxford, and Diamond Light Source has developed a breakthrough method that makes it possible to image very small proteins ...

A little bit of silence. Sometimes that’s all we want. Whether it’s halfway through a 10-hour flight with a crying baby, or trying to sleep though snoring from the hotel room next door, the promise of ...

Ask enough sleep nerds about the best sound machines and two very different front-runners will ultimately emerge: the Dohm and the LectroFan. The Dohm, sold by a company called Yogasleep, is a ...

When I was young and foolish -- as opposed to my current state of being, in which one of these descriptors is surplus to requirements -- I regarded most forms of noise as being my enemy. So, you can ...
