Harder than nails ceramic bearings can withstand Mars conditions
A range of non-magnetic, highly corrosion resistant ceramic bearings have been launched by specialist supplier of miniature bearings, SMB Bearings, which has the capability of facing extreme conditions at either ends of the temperature spectrum, even those found on Mars.With implications for the chemical, food and beverage, marine and pharmaceutical industry, this product launch will keep machinery moving smoothly in the harshest of environments.
Materials breakthrough will supercharge wide-bandgap semiconductors
In a significant breakthrough, materials scientists at Pennsylvania State University have synthesized two-dimensional gallium nitride for the first time ever using a graphene encapsulation said to give the structure 'superb electronic properties and strength to the resulting flat gallium nitride'.
When it comes to power, everybody wants more
Whether it’s the proliferation of processing intensive, AC-powered cloud technology in data centres or other demanding applications like the latest power hungry electric vehicles - everybody likes more. More power. More performance. More efficiency. More density.
How to manage power in electronic systems
Semiconductors manage power in electronic devices by converting, distributing, storing, discharging, isolating and measuring electrical energy.
GaN solutions alter the data centre power equation
The age of the hyper-scale data centre is upon us, evidenced by massive data storage farms and the tens of thousands of cloud servers housed in hangar-sized buildings operated by companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Thin film resistors have wide customisation capabilities
Manufacturer and supplier of passive components and interconnect solutions, AVX, has released the new WBR Series thin film wire bond resistors. Diced to small 0202 (0.02x0.02”) chip outlines with tight dimensional tolerances (±0.003”), WBR Series top-contact, bottom-isolated resistors are ruggedly constructed, rated for up to 250mW DC power, and deliver stable and high-reliability performance in low profile packages.

Engineers: your decisions shape our energy future
First expressed byJeffery Sachs, Director The Earth Institute of Columbia University: "The politicians have done their job; now it’s up to the engineers," was the sentiment that followed thesigning of theParis Agreement, as it isresonating with engineers worldwide.
GaN transistors save cost and increase efficiency
Power densities are increasing three times or more in many applications as the demand for more power in electronics continues to increase, while the space allowable for power continues to decrease. This increase in power has the collateral effect of producing more heat. More heat traditionally results in the use of higher capacity fans and bigger heat sinks to prevent overheating of the electronic components and system failure.
How is smart power evolving?
The term 'smart power' is used to refer to the automatic response of a power chip to an external situation. Now, it means much more.
