Weidmüller has now added the UR20-8DI-ISO-2W and UR20-4DO-ISO-4A I/O modules to its U-Remote family, which have galvanically isolated input and output signals. U-Remote is part of the automation and digitization portfolio U-Mation.

Radio technology plays a decisive role in the networking of vehicles. Chips that can handle several radio standards facilitate the development of multifunctional solutions. An overview

In the process of digitalization, the profession of engineer is transforming. To accelerate industry 4.0, it is necessary to constantly expand one's knowledge and interconnect specialist disciplines. A qualified workforce is a decisive factor.

How fast can an electric car drive and what distances can it cover? That depends on the built-in power electronics - the electronic heart of electromobility. Silicon carbide is considered a promising alternative material in the semiconductor industry.

The Internet of Things (IoT) market continues to expand in terms of revenue and innovative capacity. The booming market open numerous possibilities for both companies and private people. However, there’s a flipside to this development too: it’s significantly contributing to our constantly increasing energy demand. Therefore, the IoT sector must become significantly better at energy saving.

The growing market for e-vehicles will result in a massive recycling demand. According to experts, around 50,000 tonnes of batteries will be recycled in Europe by 2027. This will be covered by a new project.

Infotainment, ADAS or autonomous driving: Buses in vehicles must provide ever-higher data rates and become safer at the same time. The industry intends to launch the prototypes of an improved 10GBASE-SR standard by 2021.

The recently introduced TPS62840 buck converter with an IQ value of 60 nA provides greater efficiency in a wide range of battery-powered industrial and personal electronics applications.

Traversing 3,000 kilometers from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia without one single drop of fuel, is that possible? Teams from over 30 countries accepted the challenge during Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. Among the participants were a team of students from RWTH and FH Aachen.

The energy revolution is here. You can feel it, or more accurately see it, in the air. Light “kites” on thin ropes can now convert wind energy to electrical energy. They might even come to replace traditional wind turbines. At least if we’re to believe the Swiss startup Twing Tec that recently ran a successful test on a pilot plant with energy kites. Let’s look closer into how this slightly unusual method for generating electricity works.
