Microprocessors, also called computer chips, are made using a process called lithography. Specifically, deep-ultraviolet lithography is used to make the current breed of microchips and was most likely used to make the chip that is inside your computer. Lithography is akin to photography in that ...
However, companies and industry groups are working to create standards and platforms to make it easier for all these devices to be programmed to work together more seamlessly, as well as to improve security. Outside the home, lots of industries and cities are adopting, or have already adopted...
That's when the first affordable, pocket, electronic calculators started to appear, thanks to the development of silicon microchips in the late 1960s and early 1970s.Photo: This is what calculators looked like in the 1970s. Note the very basic 8-digit green display (it's called a vacuum ...
An electromagnetic pulse could potentially fry the vast majority of all the microchips in the United States. In an instant, nearly all of our electronic devices would be rendered useless. Back in 2004 the Wall Street Journal wrote: “No American would necessarily die in the initial attack, but...

The microcontroller needs to be programmed to perform the desired functionality. Microcontrollers are almost always programmed in the commonly used computer language called ‘C’. The program, called firmware, is stored in permanent but reprogrammable memory usually internal to the microcontroller chip. ...
125kHz RFID:Utilized in older proximity cards and animal microchips. Infrared:A frequent component in many remote controls. Sub-1 GHz:Employed in garage door remotes and remote keyless systems for communication. The operation of Flipper Zero is rather straightforward. To read a wireless signal, the...
If you've lostthe keysto your Vehicles or need to make a spare set, it's not just a question of a quick trip to the local key maker or locksmith. The days when a key to a car was simply a cut piece of metal are long gone. Modern car keys contain microchips that work in tandem...
microchips.The new cards are harder to forge(伪造)and can be scanned at places like airports where security is a priority. The bureau's computers however are programmed to read only 32 252 of the roughly 55 000 Chinese characters according to a 2006 government report.The result is that Miss...
(植入) under the skin. It contains the medicine, which it releases at preset times. The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses. A company calledMicrochipsbegan developing the device about fifteen years ago. Last month,...
