Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with NVIDIA, continues to drive AI-RAN innovation for 5G-Advanced and 6G. The latest testbed to be showcased at MWC Barcelona 2026 integrates ray-tracing-based, site-specific channel emulation with the NVIDIA Sionna Research Kit to enable digital twin-based hardware-in-the-loop testing without leaving the lab.

Hitachi Energy and Pakal Technologies have announced a collaboration focused on the development and integration of a new silicon power semiconductor technology. Hitachi Energy will incorporate Pakal Technologies’ Insulated Gate Turn-Off (Thyristor), IGTO(t), silicon power switch into its portfolio of high-voltage power modules. The devices are intended for applications including rail systems, renewable energy, energy storage, and data center infrastructure.

Bourns, Inc., a manufacturer and supplier of electronic components for power, protection, and sensing Solutions, has announced its GDT225HE Series High Voltage, High Energy Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Arresters.

Indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) has become a cornerstone material for near-infrared optoelectronics, enabling applications from LIDAR and Raman spectroscopy to high-speed optical communication. This article explores why InGaAs is uniquely suited for the short-wave infrared spectrum and takes a closer look at its growing role in avalanche photodiodes (APDs).

The European Union has granted EUR 25 million to the SUPREME consortium, marking a significant milestone in industrialization of superconducting quantum technologies across Europe. Together with national funding from the member states, the total funding adds up to 50 million Euros. Key objectives of the initiative include developing stable superconducting technology and giving access to it for both industry and academia. The first phase will commence in early 2026 and span three and a half years, bringing together 23 partners from eight Member States.

The PCIM Asia Shenzhen Conference 2026 serves as a key gathering for researchers and engineers from across the global power electronics community. The 2026 conference will focus on the growing domain of power electronics applications in artificial intelligence (AI) and data centres, with these topics becoming increasingly important due to rising demand for compute infrastructure and the requirement for more efficient, sustainable energy systems.

Reliability, safety and operation under adverse and sometimes extreme conditions play a central role in train electronics. Railway systems operate in wide temperature ranges and are exposed to vibrations and shocks. The pantograph's up and down movement causes high-energy arcing, which leads to voltage spikes in the train's electrical system – a threat to any type of electronics

Wolfspeed, Inc. has announced the industry’s first commercially available 10 kV silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFET. The device is designed to support high-voltage power conversion and enable new system architectures for applications such as grid infrastructure, industrial electrification, and AI data centers.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has announced significant advancements in its portfolio of industrial control and protection devices. The company is expanding the functionalities of its semiconductor-based SENTRON Electronic Circuit Protection Device (ECPD) and introducing the SIRIUS 3RW5 -Z R11 refurbished soft starter, its first product designed according to circular economy principles.

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.
