Industry’s Only Family of Standard Non-Hybrid Space-Grade Power Converters Now Includes 28 Volt (V)-Input Radiation-Tolerant Options

“Microchip’s alternatives to inflexible hybrid-style converters improve design flexibility while reducing system size, cost and development time Space system designers cannot easily support non-standard voltages or add functions with traditional hybrid-style power converters. Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) has …

Lancaster physicist solves century old problem of radiation reaction

“A Lancaster physicist has proposed a radical solution to the question of how a charged particle, such as an electron, responds to its own electromagnetic field. This question has challenged physicists for over 100 years but mathematical physicist Dr Jonathan …

Morello research program hits major milestone with hardware now available for testing

“Securing the world’s data will be one of the greatest technology challenges over the next decade of compute. This is why Arm has been collaborating with the University of Cambridge for several years on its CHERI architecture, which defines …

Mysterious Object Unlike Anything Astronomers Have Seen Before

“A team mapping radio waves in the Universe has discovered something unusual that releases a giant burst of energy three times an hour, and it’s unlike anything astronomers have seen before. The team who discovered it think it could …

New experiment results bolster potential for self-sustaining fusion

“For more than 60 years, scientists have sought to understand and control the process of fusion, a quest to harness the vast amounts of energy released when nuclei in fuel come together. A paper published today in the journal “Nature …

New Family of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Ethernet Switches Provides Industry’s First Turnkey Solution for Industrial Automation Networks

“Microchip’s LAN9668x family of Ethernet switches enables single network architecture and, combined with its new LAN8814 PHYs, reduces system cost and risk for designers while speeding time to market Factory automation is increasing efficiencies, from reducing handling and storage …

New Technique Boosts Efficiency, Sustainability of Large-Scale Perovskite Solar Cells

“An international team of researchers has demonstrated a technique for producing perovskite photovoltaic materials on an industrial scale, which will reduce the cost and improve the performance of mass-produced perovskite solar cells. The technique is low-cost, simple, energy-efficient, and should …
