Customised magnetic components in EVs and charging units
Electric vehicles (EVs) have become a mainstay of the automotive market. Research from the International Energy Agency suggests global EV sales will reach 17 million by the end of 2024, accounting for more than one in five cars sold worldwide. However, as these cutting-edge machines grow in popularity, they become increasingly complex, which presents manufacturers and engineers with a challenge - how do you maximise performance while optimising c...
“Breakthrough” paper under investigation after AI generation claims
In early September, Electronic Specifier reported on the paper, ‘On the Same Origin of Quantum Physics and General Relativity from Riemannian Geometry and Planck Scale Formalism’, authored by Chavis Srichan of Khon Kaen University and led by the corresponding author, Adrian David Cheok of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. Since then, it has come to light that a temporary expression of concern relating to potent...
How long does an LED bulb last?
LED bulbs became popular due to their energy efficiency and long lifespan. On average, an LED bulb can last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, significantly outlasting traditional incandescent bulbs which last on average 1,000 hours.
Raspberry Pi hacks: unlock the full potential of your Pi
To help you get the most out of your Raspberry Pi – whether it be the Raspberry Pi 5, the new 2GB version, or otherwise – we've compiled a list of essential Raspberry Pi hacks that can enhance performance, improve functionality, and expand your Pi's capabilities.
