"So, I now have full remote control of over 25 Tesla's in 13 countries and there seems to be no way to find the owners and report it to them..." reads a January 10, 2022 tweet from Tesla hacker David Colombo. To warn owners, the 19-year-old IT security expert turned to social media.

The chip shortage continues in 2022. While some experts believe that the situation will improve this year, others are convinced that the crisis will persist into 2023. This article summarizes the most important chip shortage news in January 2022.

2021 was a tough year for us all, but a number of industries faced extra challenges in the face of a global shortage of microchips. This led to turmoil in the consumer electronics and automotive industries as manufacturers struggled to meet customer demand for everything from mobile phones to automobiles.

Pattern Energy Group LP announced it has completed construction and begun commercial operation of its suite of Western Spirit Wind power projects. Western Spirit Wind is comprised of four wind power facilities totaling more than 1,050 MW located in Guadalupe, Lincoln, and Torrance Counties in central New Mexico.

This paper will give you an overview on materials to increase reliability through better heat dissipation, thermal management as well as insulation.

Discrete power rectifiers used in asynchronous switch mode power supplies play a decisive role in the efficiency and reliability of the complete system. Discover how Trench Schottky rectifiers combine low switching losses and high thermal performance

This paper looks at various cooling scenarios including both serial and parallel configurations and multiple cooling structures with the goal of improving the current rating and reliability of a power semiconductor module for e-mobility applications.

The demand having a snubber circuit in the power supply topology leads to specific verification methods during the design to obtain a proper and reliable design. Learn how in this AppNote.

In a new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities used a customized printer to fully 3D print a flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. The discovery could result in low-cost OLED displays in the future that could be widely produced using 3D printers by anyone at home, instead of by technicians in expensive microfabrication facilities.

Marking a new chapter in European industrial history, the cell is the first to have been fully designed, developed and assembled at a gigafactory by a homegrown European battery company.

The high-voltage battery is located centrally in the drive and literally in the middle of the Audi RS Q e-tron. It embodies the heart of the innovative electric drive with energy converter. Audi intends to use it to set the next milestone in the world’s toughest rally and prove “Vorsprung durch Technik” (free translation: head start through technology) in the desert as well.

In new research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have found interesting chemical behavior of one of the battery’s two terminals as the battery is charged and discharged.

KPIT Technologies, a software development and integration partner to the automotive and mobility industry, and dSPACE, a global provider of simulation and validation solutions, have teamed up to offer a comprehensive solution test suite for smart charging. The combination of KPIT conformance test libraries for the dSPACE hardware component — the DS5366 Smart Charging Interface — enables this comprehensive solution suite.

Realtek has adopted an electromagnetic (EM) simulation workflow developed by Ansys to accelerate complex RFIC design and improve efficiency by shrinking silicon area. Realtek uses RaptorH’s silicon-optimized modeling flow to substantially decrease simulation time and reduce wasteful overdesign by accurately predicting EM coupling in various applications.

What's the deal with the name change from Cree to Wolfspeed and how does this strategic decision affect the company's goals? Gregg Lowe, CEO at Wolfspeed, provides these and other answers in an interview.

The IoT’s rapid growth, and electrification for greener energy, are driven by digital technology – yet digital solutions depend on analog sensors measuring pressure, temperature, flow, and many other real-world parameters. This article shows how EBV helps designers to source and integrate analog semiconductor solutions with a competitive edge.
