Two trends in electronics show no signs of abating: The shift to portable and mobile products across multiple applications; and packing more and more features into each successive generation of ...

South Korean scientists have fabricated a busbar-free solar cell for shingled modules that uses 60% less silver than its busbar counterparts. A module with the new cells had almost the same ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Let’s face it: Some lucky folks don’t have to worry too much about power conversion. Just plug the board into the ...

A power module is a high-power switching circuit used in applications for electric vehicles, renewable energy, photovoltaics, wind power, and much more. Switching-element IGBTs and MOSFETs are used in ...

Using a surrogate model for finite element analysis, the scientists have designed an aluminum frame for bifacial modules that reportedly minimizes deflection and production costs, without adding too ...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has indicated it will certify NuScale’s 50-MWe (160 MWth) small modular reactor (SMR) design, marking another definitive milestone for the reactor vendor and ...

Semiconductor manufacturing, laser cutting machine tools, electronics assembly and lab automation systems require precision linear modules that need to operate with tight endpoint accuracy and smooth ...

“Ambitious” may be an understated characterization when it comes to the space industry’s goals for reducing the cost of space transport. A case in point, the US National Atmospheric and Space ...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave an advanced reactor design its stamp of approval, but there is still a long road ahead before next-generation nuclear technologies get off the ground. The ...
