The rising environmental impact of AI
Google's recent revelation of a48% increase in emissions over the past five years, driven by the energy demands of its data centres, has spotlighted the environmental toll of artificial intelligence.
Utilising new materials to combat flexible e-waste
Electronic waste, commonly known as e-waste, represents an escalating global challenge, with projections indicating it will worsen as new flexible electronics for robotics, wearable devices, health monitors, and other innovative applications, including single-use devices, continue to be developed.
How do Hall effect switches work?
A Hall effect switch is atype of sensorthat detects the presence of a magnetic field and converts this detection into an electrical signal, which can then be used to trigger or control other electronic devices. Although it functions as a sensor, the term "switch" reflects its dual role in sensing and controlling circuit states.
Driving zero defects in today’s intelligent vehicles
Today’s computer chips have advanced significantly from 130 transistors per device in the 1970s to 208 billion in 2024 in Nvidia's latest Grace Blackwell GB200 chip.
Through-pavement electric vehicle charging trial a first for London
Enfield resident Chris Richmond has the confidence to move to EVs following the installation of his Kerbo Charge channel.
PCIM Asia Conference’s 2024 keynote headlines
The PCIM Asia Conference is set to return to Shenzhen from 28 – 30 August 2024 with this year’s programme headlined by three keynotes exploring emerging trends in power semiconductor technologies, developments in solid-state transformers, and the applications of power semiconductors in renewable energy and electrification.
How long will Moore’s Law last?
Moore’s Law states that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every year, but how long will Moore’s Law last?
EU project ARCTIC targets scalable quantum processors
Project ARCTIC brings together 36 partners from industry, academia and leading RTOs to establish a complete and comprehensive European supply chain for and develop scalable, reliable, innovative control infrastructure for cryogenic quantum processors. The EU is funding the project with over € 11 million for a duration of three years.
Mobile manipulators: wireless inductive charging systems enables new era of robotics
The growing shortage of skilled workers is increasing the pressure on industrial companies to automate their processes. Flexible, cost-effective,and easy-to-implement robotics solutions such as autonomous mobile robots and collaborative robots are therefore in demand. Mobile manipulators connect both robot systems, but often cannot be used economically due to insufficient battery power. The solution:Wiferion'sWireless Power Kit, which enables i...
