The silicon power MOSFET has been the most important device for changing low- and medium-voltage power for more than forty years. It was the best choice for everything from consumer electronics and telecom infrastructure to industrial power supplies and automotive systems because it was easy to use, had a well-established manufacturing ecosystem, and its performance was easy to predict.

Did you know that Faraday’s laws enable a magnetic source to induce a current in a nearby electronic device, without having any physical contact? Faraday’s laws can become a futuristic reason to say “goodbye, heavy wires”. This article describes Faraday’s two laws of electromagnetic induction and discusses their significance in the world of electronics.

The job of a gas station or tankstelle has always been refuelling vehicles and sending them back to the road. The energy flow of non-renewables is unidirectional. For electric vehicle charging, scientists and researchers reimagined charging stations. Manufacturers moved EV chargers beyond charging, turning vehicles into energy storage systems on wheels.

Solid-state batteries do not use flammable liquid electrolytes and are therefore safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Empa researchers have developed a solid electrolyte based on a stretchable polymer. The scalable material could allow the development of better solid-state batteries and be used in flexible batteries for medical applications.
