New Orleans-based Avando has created a scalable, affordable solution to improve the battery life of today's rechargeable batteries. The American startup just announced a $18.5 million Series A funding round.

Bosch is expanding its semiconductor business with silicon carbide chips. The technology company plans to acquire assets of the U.S. chipmaker TSI Semiconductors, based in Roseville, California. With a workforce of 250, the company is a foundry for application-specific integrated circuits, or ASICs. Currently, it mainly develops and produces large volumes of chips on 200-millimeter silicon wafers for applications in the mobility, telecommunications, energy, and life sciences industries. Starting in 2026, the first chips will be produced on 200-millimeter wafers based on the innovative material silicon carbide (SiC).

Power supplies are usually set to a fixed output voltage to supply an electrical load with energy. Certain applications, however, require a variable generated voltage. This article will show how output voltages of a power supply may be adapted on-the-fly using dedicated digital-to-analog converters (DACs) developed for such purposes.

Cyber attacks on the energy industry have been rapidly rising since 2017, and 2022 set an all-time high for the number of attacks that took place in a single year. Facing this growing threat, energy industry leaders must take positive action to safeguard against the evolving attack landscape.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have devised a machine learning method that can predict battery health with 10x higher accuracy than the current industry standard.

A new report by Global Market Insights has highlighted the trends likely to shape the microgrid market between 20217 and 2027, with the need to integrate renewable energy sources and technologies being one of the biggest driving forces.

Global experts on solar power strongly urge a commitment to the continued growth of photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing and deployment to power the planet, arguing that lowballing projections for PV growth while waiting for a consensus on other energy pathways or the emergence of technological last-minute miracles “is no longer an option.”

STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor specialist serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has announced a new platform to accelerate the introduction of digital car keys giving consumers keyless access to vehicles via their mobile device.

While security is front of mind when it comes to connected and autonomous vehicles, little consideration is given to security the risks associated with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Research demonstrates that EV charging stations can be a conduit for DDoS attacks, ransomware, theft of ID, and could jeopardize the security of the power grid.

An Israeli company, StoreDot, has successfully cut drone recharge time down from 1-2 hours to 5 minutes with its latest battery technology innovation. StoreDot hopes that its technology will soon be integrated into commercial drones.
