Welwyn started making resistors in Bedlington Northumberland in 1946, and it is still making resistors there, in a growing facility, with technology that is in demand worldwide. When Mercedes needed ...

Resistors may be small and silent, but they play a key role in controlling how electricity flows through every circuit. In ...

As our economy continues to drive the emergence of energy-efficient systems such as hybrid and electric vehicles, composite aircraft, and wind turbines, the need for power resistors has expanded.

There is more to resistor precision than meets the eye. The three basic types of resistors — bulk metal foil, thin film, and thick film — are alike on the surface and may often have similar purchase ...

One of the standard methods used to measure load current is to insert a low-value resistor in the load line and sense the voltage across it, Figure 1, followed by an analog or digital implementation ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., December 9, 2014 - Researchers from the London Centre for Nanotechnology have made new compact, high-value resistors for nanoscale quantum circuits. The resistors could speed the ...

The electrical characteristics of new thin-film chromium oxide resistors can be tuned by controlling the oxygen content. Researchers have made new compact, high-value resistors for nanoscale quantum ...

One example of an application that requires high-value resistors is the quantum phase-slip (QPS) circuit. A QPS circuit is made from very narrow wires of superconducting material that can exploit a ...
