U.S. scientists used density functional theory to reveal how sodium ions are stored in nanoporous carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries, identifying dual ionic and metallic storage mechanisms within ...

Understanding the advantages, limitations, and use cases of each technology helps engineers create reliable consumer products.

Consumer electronic products have become increasingly complex, compact, and power-dense. With these changes comes a heightened need for robust overcurrent protection strategies to ensure the safety, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an integrated approach for condition monitoring (CM) and short-circuit (SC) protection in SiC MOSFETs. This design integrates CM and SC protection functionalities within ...

Abstract: Stacking SiC MOSFETs in series is an effective approach to enhance voltage rating and simplify topologies of high-power converters. Beyond the dynamic voltage balancing during normal ...

Across global cities, once-occasional gestures have become routine: the pocket pat, the zip check, the instinctive tug of a strap closer to the body. These movements reflect a rising everyday caution ...

SEPTA has completed federally required inspections on all 223 Silverliner IV Regional Rail cars, meeting an extended deadline set by the Federal Railroad Administration after multiple fires were ...

A German research team has developed a semiconductor-based protection concept tailored to renewable energy systems that forces a permanent short circuit in less than 1 millisecond in the event of a ...

With over 2,700 individual demonstrations confirmed and an estimated 7.1 million participants, Saturday’s “No Kings” protests look to be the largest day of protest in United States history. While the ...

Owners of nearly 200,000 BMWs should not park in the garage because the vehicles could short circuit and catch fire, according to a recall notice. The fire risk is related to a problem with the engine ...

Safety and protection in power systems are essential to ensure the protection of both electronic components and users. Safety is extremely important in power electronics. Systems must be designed to ...
