Research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have developed a measurement method that allows the performance of back-contacted solar cells to be determined without contact in the production line.

Nexperia has announced that it is now offering a portfolio of 16 new low VF optimized planar Schottky diodes in CFP2-HP packaging. The portfolio includes eight industrial, as well as eight AEC-Q101 qualified products.

PID control contributes to EV power design – but classic solutions can’t handle EV system nonlinearities, and lack AI’s learning capability. EV designers have responded to these challenges by adopting advanced PID calculus, combining techniques, and adding AI capability. This article compares these approaches, and shows how they can be built into optimal solutions.

Researchers at Empa and ETH Zurich are creating an electromechanical system to apply tension to nanomaterials, potentially enabling novel electronic components for quantum technologies like IT, communication, sensors, and energy conversion. Empa's Peter Lendway won first prize in the SNSF video competition for showcasing this system in action.
