Invented in the early 1950s, the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) revolutionized the field of electronics. The transistor is the foundation of computer memories, microprocessors, and other integrated circuits.

In January 2023, Resonac Corporation has launched a project to develop new semiconductor materials for 6G, the next-generation telecommunication system standard following 5G. Resonac will implement this development project, which starts with the molecular design stage, in cooperation with ventures and universities at its "Stage for Co-creation" R&D center newly opened in Yokohama City.

As EV manufacturers seek to improve their vehicles’ performance and competitiveness, they are being helped by improvements in power semiconductor technology. This article looks at these improvements and the underlying wide bandgap semiconductor technology.

It might seem that the chip shortage is ending, but things aren’t quite so simple. The non-homogeneous nature of chips means that just because one firm has gotten over supply challenges, not everyone else has.

There’s a huge buzz surrounding perovskite solar cells (PSC), or ‘perovskites’. Referred to by many as the next generation of solar photovoltaic technology, they promise to bring impressive gains in terms of cost, stability, and efficiency.

DENSO CORPORATION, a mobility supplier, announced it has developed its first-ever inverter with silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors. This inverter, which is incorporated in the eAxle, an electric driving module developed by BluE Nexus Corporation, will be used in the new Lexus RZ, the automaker’s first dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV) model and released March 30.

The power electronics industry’s onward direction is driven by diverse vertical market factors, now with the added impact of COVID-19. Despite everything, there are opportunities as well as challenges – so how is the industry responding?

As processor chips evolve to deliver ever-more computing performance, their power demand has been ramping up accordingly. Delivering these elevated power levels across a computer motherboard without incurring unsustainable losses, or seriously impairing processor performance, has become a major challenge. This article looks at one available solution.

Even a "good-looking" set of test cases, which also reaches 100% code coverage, can overlook defects in the software. Only "good" test cases detect errors. But how do you find such test cases?

Northvolt–Hydro battery recycling joint venture Hydrovolt has commenced commercial recycling operations in Fredrikstad, southern Norway.
