In power electronics, some problems show up in nearly every design—no matter how many times you’ve solved them. You’re trying to hit tighter efficiency targets, squeeze into smaller thermal budgets, and keep switching speeds high without…

Cooling has always been the Achilles’ heel of modern electronics. As our phones, laptops, and EVs get thinner and more powerful, they also get hotter—and heat is the enemy of performance. Metal helps, but it comes with downsides: weight,…

Quantum chips are usually built in highly specialized labs, one painstaking layer at a time—fragile, expensive, and nearly impossible to reproduce at scale. But a team at Northwestern University just changed the game. They’ve created the…

As global demand surges for more efficient and sustainable energy systems, Microchip Technology and Delta Electronics have entered into a new strategic partnership to accelerate the development of high-efficiency silicon carbide (SiC) power…

Imagine teaching a robot without writing a single line of code—just by showing it what to do. That’s exactly what engineers at MIT have made possible. Until now, training a robot meant diving into programming, juggling complex interfaces,…

Silanna Semiconductor is taking direct aim at the entrenched norms of legacy analog-to-digital converter (ADC) suppliers with the launch of its first Evaluation Kits (EVKs) for the Plural™ ADC platform. These EVKs offer engineers a faster,…

Broadcom has officially begun shipping the Tomahawk Ultra, its latest high-performance Ethernet switch designed to meet the surging demands of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Representing a significant…

On a scorching Texas afternoon, when the sun blurs the edges of everything in sight, researchers at UT Austin are working on something small but mighty: a soft, skin-like patch that could one day keep people safely…

If industrial environments had a wishlist, “fast and tough” would top it — and TEAMGROUP is here to deliver with its new P250Q M.2 PCIe SSD. It’s not flashy. It’s not meant for gaming. But it is designed to power through extreme conditions,…

Fast charging isn’t just a consumer convenience—it’s a demanding engineering problem. As battery capacities grow in compact devices like smartphones, tablets, and wearables, engineers are under pressure to deliver more current in less…

As humanity prepares to venture deeper into space, one major hurdle remains: how to construct large-scale structures in orbit without the inefficiencies imposed by current launch constraints. At the University of Florida, Dr. Victoria…

Renesas Electronics has released its new RA2T1 group of microcontrollers (MCUs), designed to meet the needs of single-motor control applications such as fans, power tools, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, and similar devices. Based on the…

Networking and communication protocol solutions reduce the complexity of data sharing among various devices, sensors, and machinery. These solutions facilitate real-time monitoring, analysis, and improved overall equipment effectiveness…

CSIRO scientists in Newcastle have unveiled a beam‑down concentrated solar reactor that produces green hydrogen by harnessing direct sunlight and metal‑oxide thermochemical cycles. This prototype isn’t just a lab curiosity—it addresses some…

Google just made a move that should catch the attention of every engineer thinking about the future of power systems, infrastructure design, and high-performance computing. The tech giant signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) for 200…
