A group of researchers from the UK and the US have used machine learning techniques to successfully predict earthquakes. Although their work was performed in a laboratory setting, the experiment closely mimics real-life conditions, and the results could be used to predict the timing of a real earthquake.

An optimised version of WIN Semiconductors Corp’s 0.25µm gallium nitride technology, NP25, provides increased DC and RF transistor performance.NP25 is a 0.25µm gate GaN-on-SiC process, and offers users the flexibility to produce both fully integrated amplifier products as well as custom discrete transistors. In production since 2014, the optimised 0.25µm process offers increased RF performance with fast switching time, hig...

Industry 4.0 was a term coined in 2011 at the Hannover Fair and refers to the fourth industrial revolution. Taking place as far back as the late 18th Century, the first industrial revolution related to the mechanisation of manufacturing. This led to electrification in the early part of the 20th Century (the second industrial revolution).

Stackpole has announced its AEC qualified RTAN series which utilises tantalum nitride technology to provide moisture proof precision chip resistor performance. The RTAN film passes biased humidity testing at 85°C, 85% relative humidity, and ten percent bias with very little shift in resistance. The materials and design are such that the RTAN is resistant to sulfur contamination and will pass the industry standard sulfur test ANSI/EIA-977 (Met...

The largest pure-play compound semiconductor foundry, WIN Semiconductors has released an optimised version of its 0.25µm gallium nitride technology, NP25, which provides superior DC and RF transistor performance.

The Power Electronics Industry Collaborative (PEIC) has organised a special session on workforce challenges and opportunities facing the power electronics industry at the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Expo (ECCE).The event is being held 1st–5th, 2017 in Cincinnati, OH. Providing a set of perspectives on this timely industry issue, six expert panellists from PEIC member companies and affiliates shared their collective vision for enha...

Research institute of CEA Tech, Leti has announceda new European Horizon 2020 project to develop innovative electric drivetrains for third-generation electric vehicles.

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) has released two demonstration kits, the EPC9127 and EPC9128, that show GaN FETs and ICs can be used in resonant wireless power transfer systems.

RMIT researchers have used liquid metal to create two-dimensional materials no thicker than a few atoms that have never before been seen in nature.The breakthrough will not only revolutionise the way we do chemistry but could be applied to enhance data storage and make faster electronics. The discovery has been published inScience.The researchers dissolve metals in liquid metal to create very thin oxide layers, which previously did not exist as l...

A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool, University College London and the University ofZaragoza in Spain has discovered a way to induce and control a fundamental electrical switching behaviour on the nano-scale.
