| The power of the semiconductor market is going through a renaissance with the advent of higher efficiency, smaller size, and higher performance wideband-gap switches. The UK already leads the way in research of this space and now must step forward and manufacture these devices to remain relevant in the future net zero arena. |

| A team of students from Eindhoven University of Technology has succeeded in developing an all-electric, fast charging prototype race car. Set to roar into action at the Le Mans 24-hour endurance racing event in France, the team leveraged the advantages of Danfoss technology to solve its fluid conveyance challenges. |

| Following the UK’s increased investments in power technologies, Sam Holland looks at battery energy storage systems (BESS) and their significance in the current – and uncertain – energy landscape. Introducing BESS BESS, or battery energy storage systems, embody the use of Lithium-ion technologies (although many other electrochemical solutions can be used) to absorb and maintain…

| Turn on the datasheet of a microcontroller, usually, you will find more than 300 pages in front of you. It is time-consuming and inefficient to read the pages one after one, hence knowing which specifications are important is very necessary and helpful. In this article, TECHDesign will introduce the most essential specifications when choosing a…
