Modern electronics and renewable energy systems depend on DC to AC inverters that convert a DC source into a clean sinusoidal AC output. This technical article explains the theory behind inverter circuits, their types, architectures, and practical design tips.
As lithium-ion batteries power more vehicles and energy systems, the risk of thermal runaway grows. Honeywell's BES LITE detects electrolyte vapors at the first vent stage, enabling rapid intervention to prevent failures, protect assets, and ensure safety compliance.
New technology from Reeja Jayan in the department of mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University extends battery life cycle by 10x, reduces charging time, and improves operating safety.
This article is a detailed exploration of crystalline vs amorphous solids, covering atomic order, materials properties, semiconductors, and how they translate into practical semiconductor, hardware and digital design applications.
These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today's best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for powering trucks, planes, or ships.
Development of technology to enable use of hydrogen as a fuel to power turbines, engines, boilers, etc., safely and efficiently is already underway. This first approach is suitable for applications where comparatively large output is required.
How can you spot emerging technology innovation at public companies? And how could you scale this up, so that you could track not just a handful but hundreds or even thousands of companies?
For this article, I analyzed more than 650,000 financial news to find out.
Solar panels with different colours can be integrated in the façades of buildings and become an aesthetically exciting part of the architecture. DTU collaborates with façade contractor HSHansen to document the effect of different-coloured photovoltaic elements.
Solar power at night? Wind energy without wind? The German Aerospace Center (DLR) as a scientific project participant together with industry and research groups, has built and successfully tested a storage system for renewable energies.
Article #8 of Power Management for Tomorrow’s Innovations Series: Power electronics converters with an efficiency of up to 95% and very low quiescent current can make the Internet of Things devices last for months together.
Article #5 of Power Management for Tomorrow’s Innovations Series: Single-Inductor Multiple-Output (SIMO) architecture enables design engineers to extend the battery life, and reduce the circuit board size for hearables and wearables
A new startup, Quino Energy, aims to bring to market a grid-scale energy storage solution developed by Harvard researchers to facilitate more widespread adoption of renewable energy sources.
Printed batteries offer thinness and flexibility, enabling new applications, but their production is deceivingly complex. Gunter Hübner from Stuttgart Media University offered some insights at the e-Swiss conference last week.
A collaborative effort has installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size – smaller than an ant’s head – so that they can walk autonomously without being externally controlled.
This article describes the TAeTTOOz printable battery technology developed by Evonik and acquired by InnovationLab for upscaling and mass production. In this article, you can learn about the operating principles, the key working characteristics, the material set, production techniques, and emerging applications of this technology
