NAWA Technologies, a French energy storage specialist, has unveiled a new carbon nanotube-based battery electrode design that they claim brings huge gains in battery performance as the fastest of its kind.

Advanced Cell Engineering (ACE) has filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its very large format (VLF) cell. The patent filing represents a key milestone in the company’s “Project Magnus,” in which ACE will finalize cell design and chemistry for a highly efficient, 1-meter cell-to-pack prismatic cell. This is ACE’s fourth patent application in the last six months.

Currents often have to be limited in electronic circuits. For example, in a USB port excessive current flow must be prevented so that the electrical circuit can be reliably protected. Likewise, in a power bank, battery discharge must be prevented. Discharging with too high of a current can lead to an impermissibly high voltage drop in the battery and an insufficient supply voltage to the downstream device. Thus, it is often necessary to limit a current flow to a specific value.

The recent passing of Intel co-founder and semiconductor pioneer Gordon Moore has brought Silicon Valley back into the news cycle. Moore was instrumental in the development of the US tech industry and helped establish Silicon Valley as a hub of IT innovation. We explore the fascinating history of Silicon Valley and look at where this high-tech hotspot might be headed in the future.

Keysight Technologies, Inc., Synopsys, Inc., and Ansys have announced a new reference flow for the TSMC N4PRF, the world's leading semiconductor foundry's advanced 4 nanometer (nm) radio frequency (RF) FinFET process technology.

There are thousands of different switching regulators on the market. Selection is based on specifications such as input voltage range, output voltage capability, maximum output current, and a slew of other parameters. This article explains current mode, a differentiating feature commonly listed in data sheets, and its advantages and disadvantages.

At a decommissioned thermal power station in northern England, a cryogenic energy storage plant is scheduled to be built. But will this provide a solution for the storage of renewable energy?

UK-based company InterGen has been given the go-ahead to deploy a new 320 MW / 640 MWh battery energy storage facility near London. The new facility will be the UK’s largest, capable of providing fast-reacting power.

Power supplies concert a power source, such as Alternating Current (AC) from an electrical outlet, into the type of electricity needed for an application, such as Direct Current (DC) for a battery-powered device.

Traversing 3,000 kilometers from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia without one single drop of fuel, is that possible? Teams from over 30 countries accepted the challenge during Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. Among the participants were a team of students from RWTH and FH Aachen.
