In a promising breakthrough, MIT physicists have reported their observation of new key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in “magic-angle” twisted tri-layer graphene (MATTG) — a material that is made by stacking three atomically-thin sheets of graphene at a specific angle, or twist, that then allows exotic properties to emerge.

Lithium-ion batteries are quietly powering much of modern America. Demand for these indispensable energy storage solutions continues to skyrocket, prompting energy experts to explore next-generation designs for higher-performing technologies. However, safety is paramount to ensuring the successful deployment of these systems.

Siemens has expanded the TIA Selection Tool Cloud with the new “Electrical Designer” feature for electrical planning. This smart software is the first and only in the IEC market that includes basic electrical knowledge and standards expertise. Electrical Designer simplifies main circuit design by automatically selecting components, verifying short-circuits, sizing cables, and creating all necessary documentation.

Element Solutions Inc, the parent company of MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Micromax, a global supplier of advanced electronics inks and pastes, from Celanese Corporation. This acquisition is aligned with MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solution’s long-term strategy of advancing innovation in products and services in advanced electronics materials and process technologies.

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC), announces the launch of the EPC91120, a high-performance 3-phase brushless DC motor drive inverter optimized for humanoid robot joints. Featuring EPC’s EPC23102 ePower Stage IC, the EPC91120 delivers superior efficiency, high power density, and precise motion control in a compact 32 mm-diameter footprint designed to integrate directly within robotic motor assemblies.

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded their range of Zener diodes with the launch of a further 15 products. These devices will be used to protect the power lines of semiconductor devices and equipment from switching surges and long duration overvoltage pulses. They will be useful in a wide range of applications, including consumer and industrial.

This article introduces the technology of so-called HEMTs or high electron mobility transistors. These devices represent an important evolution in transistor design and have become key components in modern high-frequency and microwave electronics. Thanks to their outstanding performance, HEMTs are widely used in low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) as well as in power applications.

The word “power strip” may sound like a tech term for a fancy gadget. Power strips are a typical multi-socket extension that enables you to charge your laptop, smartphone, and various devices together. That rectangular-shaped socket board, can you relate? This article explains how a power strip long cord makes our lives easier in homes and enterprises.

Suppose three friends gear up to replace the most popular kid in the school. That’s what Silicon Carbide (SiC), Gallium Nitride (GaN), and Gallium Oxide try to do with Silicon. While SiC and GaN were successful in reducing silicon dominance to a certain extent, gallium oxide is less well-known. However, gallium oxide is a compound semiconductor that is cheaper and easier to manufacture.

The research project CircuBAT aims to close the loop between the production, use and recycling of automotive lithium-ion batteries. Seven Swiss research institutions, including Empa, and 24 companies joined forces to develop solutions that enhance sustainability at all stages of the batteries’ life cycle. Now, the project comes to a successful conclusion.
