IoT technology connects thousands of sensors, enables real-time data collection and analysis, and makes buildings smarter and more efficient. Still, power is a challenge. The batteries of any smart device are costly, and the constant…

Texas Instruments introduced the industry's first stand-alone active electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter integrated circuits (ICs) so that engineers can implement smaller, lighter EMI filters and enhance system functionality at…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) teamed up with SHARGE Technology to design a 67 W USB PD charger with a power display screen. The fast charger uses EPC’s 100 V GaN FET, EPC2218, delivering 231 A pulsed current in a 3.5 mm x 1.95 mm…

At APEC 2023, Amber Semi will demonstrate a new standard in power management and sensing in prototype applications, including solid-state programmable circuit breakers, lighting, motor control, smart outlets, etc., powered by its…

Robots as mental well-being coaches in the workplace may be useful– but it depends on what the robot looks like. University of Cambridge researchers used two robot well-being coaches for their study; 26 employees participated in weekly…

In a study published in Nature Physics, Rice University physicists and collaborators presented an array of experimental evidence showing their charge density wave discovery was rarer than first thought--a case where the magnetic and…

This is fascinating. Now, a new approach sidesteps the long-standing problem of scaling up quantum prototypes. 'Counterportation’ provides the first-ever practical blueprint for creating a wormhole in the lab that verifiably bridges space.…

How would you like to use a battery that never needs recharging and lasts over 100 years? Sounds too good to be true, but this technology exists and is ancient. It is called a Zamboni Pile (also called a Duluc Pile) and is a very old…

Kia America just unveiled a Kia Veterans Technician Apprenticeship Program to provide military veterans with the opportunity to become a trained Kia technician, complete with support throughout the training process. Kia will work with…

Structural defects that form during an additive manufacturing building process have prevented its wide adoption. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory developed a new method to detect and predict…
