STMicroelectronics has developed the amplifier TSV7722, which enhances energy efficiency in applications such as automotive smart mobility, solar panels, telecom infrastructure, and computer servers. The TSV7722 is included in ST’s 10-year longevity program that assures long-term component supply.

A team led by Technical University of Munich (TUM) physicists Christoph Utschick and Prof. Rudolf Gross has succeeded in making a coil with superconducting wires capable of transmitting power in the range of more than five kilowatts contactless and with only small losses. The wide field of conceivable applications include autonomous industrial robots, medical equipment, vehicles and even aircraft.

Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, SweGaN AB, and the University of Bristol are partnering in the European Space Agency funded Kassiopeia project. The teams join forces to develop high-performance Ka-band GaN MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits).

Renesas Electronics Corporation announced both PSA Certified Level 2 and Security Evaluation Standard for IoT Platforms (SESIP) certifications for its RA Family of 32-bit Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers (MCUs).

Next-generation auto radar technology, based on GF's 22FDX RF solution, will help make vehicles smarter and roads even safer than today. GLOBALFOUNDRIES, a global leader in specialty semiconductor manufacturing, and Bosch will partner to develop and manufacture next-generation automotive radar technology.

Rydberg atoms are among the most promising candidates in the race of realizing a working quantum computer. In the new collaborative project „QRydDemo“, researchers led by the University of Stuttgart aim to realize a Rydberg quantum computer demonstrator together with an industrial partner by 2025.

Northvolt and Volkswagen Group unveil next step in partnership plans: Northvolt receives $14 billion order as it is selected as a strategic lead supplier for premium battery cells for Volkswagen Group in Europe. Volkswagen will at the same time increase its ownership in Northvolt.

The Indian electric vehicle component market is growing on account of the declining prices of the components and increasing adoption of EVs, driven by the rising environmental concerns and strong government support.

All commercially available batteries are non-switching. But a new type of battery system from Switching Battery Inc. offers a glimpse of hope for electric vehicle charging from renewable energy directly.

The automotive industry is just beginning a historic transition to emission-free vehicles. In 2019 alone, electric vehicle (EV) sales rose by more than 40 percent, and EV momentum is only increasing as governments around the world take steps to phase out international combustion engines and automakers prepare to comply with fully electric lineups in the coming years:
