Over the last few years, sustainability has been front of mind for many car makers, driven by the need to comply with government carbon-reducing mandates, pressure from investors, and the need to compete with Tesla. But beyond the preoccupation with electric vehicles, another energy source has captured the interest of aspiring startups – solar energy.

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.

Intel has announced the release of its newest quantum research chip, Tunnel Falls, a 12-qubit silicon chip, and it is making the chip available to the quantum research community. In addition, Intel is collaborating with the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) at the University of Maryland, College Park’s Qubit Collaboratory (LQC), a national-level Quantum Information Sciences (QIS) Research Center, to advance quantum computing research.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden claim that that they’ve found a way to effectively and efficiently cool down electronics and power systems by using graphene-based heat pipes, it has been announced.

The renewable energy revolution wants to build a climate-friendly future for the world But the move away from fossil fuels will remain a challenge as long as efficient means to store green energy are still lacking. A German research consortium has set itself the ambitious goal to tackle exactly this problem with cheap-to-make zinc batteries that not only store electrical power, but can also be used to produce hydrogen.

Our world today is populated by increasingly powerful electronic devices, which all depend on integrated circuits as their fundamental building blocks. This article explains what this all-powerful device is, how it works, how it is made, and the types available. It also looks at IC advantages and disadvantages, and concludes with a review of IC market potential.

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current that periodically reverses its direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which only flows in a single direction which cannot change sporadically.

German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon has announced a new collaborative project aimed at improving the reliability of electronics—Intelligent Reliability 4.0, or ‘iRel40’. 75 science and industry partners from across 13 countries will work together to realize the goal of improving the reliability of electronic devices, systems, and components.

Hitachi Energy, a global technology speicalist that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all, has been selected by SSEN Transmission, part of the UK energy giant SSE plc, to supply multiple onshore high-voltage direct current converter stations to accelerate the integration of bulk renewables into the UK power grid.

A high level cost analysis—from design and manufacturing to battery reuse and security protections—reveals an opportunity for OEMs to increase profits on next-generation electric vehicles leveraging wBMS. The electric vehicle (EV) industry’s evolution to wireless battery management systems (wBMS) was in many ways inevitable.
