Basic Info about Electronics:

• Definitions of basic logic gates AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XNOR. (Sally).
• How transistors work, from Intel. (Trish)
• What's hysteresis? A magnetic example. (Trish)
• Animated cyclic voltammmetry experiment, showing how the voltage-current curves develops as the applied voltage is swept to oxidize and then reduce a species. (Trish)
• Glossary of terms relevant to the semiconductor industry. Definitions are very brief, but a good place to start. Not a good place for in-depth understanding. (Martha)
• How silicon-based computer chips are made, from Intel. (Trish)
