Lithium-Air Battery Design Poised to Increase Energy Storage, EV Range

5 days ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

This solid-state lithium-air battery is the first to achieve a four-electron chemical reaction at room temperature. In a four-electron chemical reaction, four electrons are transferred between two chemical species. This type of reaction, although common in various fields such as electrochemistry, is a feat never before accomplished in a lithium-air battery operating at room temperature. Most lithium reactions involve one or two electrons.
Hybrid Current Sensor Reduces the Complexities of EV Battery Management

By integrating both technologies, the HSU reduces the tradeoffs between accuracy, speed, and isolation. "This integration simplifies system architecture, enhances safety, and allows for seamless upgrades without altering the mechanical layout," said Jérémie Piro, product manager for battery management and battery storage systems at LEM.
Powering Data Centers from the Grid to the to the Processor

1 week ago | electronicdesign.com | James Morra

The AI race is running on massive amounts of electricity. U.S. demand for electricity is projected to climb more than 15% by 2030, with data centers among the primary drivers, according to a recent analysis by power sector consulting firm Grid Strategies. To keep up, tech giants such as Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft are all scrambling to secure large amounts of reliable power for their future AI operations, increasingly turning to nuclear power as a way to bypass bottlenecks in the grid.
New Tactile Switches Support Their Design-in Resurgence

1 week ago | electronicdesign.com | Bill Schweber

Why designers are rethinking their extreme reliance on touchscreens for the user interface. The features that are especially desired in tactile switches, in addition to basic contact closure/opening. New switch families provide needed tactile-switch attributes. Touchscreens are everywhere, although the term "touchscreen" is a somewhat misleading misnomer as they are actually "look first, then touch" screens.
Infineon Introduces First GaN Power FET to Integrate Schottky Diode

1 week ago | electronicdesign.com | James Morra

In normal operation, current flows from the drain to the source when the gate of the power transistor is completely turned off, applying a positive voltage to the drain. This is also called "first quadrant" operation in the parlance of the power electronics industry. However, when the gate of the transistor is completely turned off and the drain voltage becomes negative relative to the source, current flows in the other direction through the body diode, enabling current flow from source to drain.

Autonomous Vehicles Deliver Advanced Safety and Convenience

2 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Ernest Worthman

The rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is poised to redefine the transportation landscape. In the transition from a futuristic concept to everyday reality, these driverless cars will have far-reaching effects on how the driver will interact with them. Eventually, once the glamor wears off, to be accepted by the masses, AVs will need to provide an experience as seamless as using your smartphone.
Curbside EV Charging Successful in German Field Trial

2 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Murray Slovick

Equipped with standardized interfaces, an integrated 4G modem, and Ethernet, the Curb Charger facilitates the exchange of data between the charger and backend systems using the OCCP 1.6 communication standard. OCCP 1.6 makes it possible for EV charging stations to interact with central management systems. It permits the sharing of real-time information on charging sessions, customer reservations, and the status of charging points, along with the ability to perform over-the-air software updates.
Power Density in NASA Small Spacecraft Systems

2 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Steve Taranovich

NASA Ames' recent SmallSat program focused on Lunar exploration, with the Lunar Prospector's launch in January 1998. LCROSS explored the lunar landscape in June 2009. In September 2013, the LADEE program explored the lunar landscape. What's a CubeSat? The CubeSat nanosatellites have a standard size and form factor. CubeSat size has a "one unit" or "IU" measuring 10 × 10 × 10 cm, with the ability to extend to larger 1.5, 2.3.6, and 12U sizes.
"Fluid" Electrodes Enable Truly Flexible Batteries

2 weeks ago | electronicdesign.com | Bill Schweber

What you'll learn: The relative rigidity of batteries can be a problematic constraint when designing and packaging a product. This is especially the case for IoT-related applications such as wearables and IoT nodes, where the available space is limited and has an unusual shape or volume. While advances have been made toward flexible or somewhat conformable batteries, their rigid electrodes still present packaging limitations.
