Toshiba’s New Device Structure Improves SiC MOSFET High Temperature Reliability and Reduces Power Loss

“Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has developed a new SiC MOSFET device structure that simultaneously achieves higher reliability at high temperatures and lower power loss. In a 3300V chip at 175ºC, a level of current over double that of …

Ultralight material withstands supersonic microparticle impacts

“The new carbon-based material could be a basis for lighter, tougher alternatives to Kevlar and steel. A new study by engineers at MIT, Caltech, and ETH Zürich shows that “nanoarchitected” materials — materials designed from precisely patterned nanoscale structures — may be …

University of Groningen scientists design superfast molecular motor

“Light-driven molecular motors have been around for over twenty years. These motors typically take microseconds to nanoseconds for one revolution. Thomas Jansen, associate professor of physics at the University of Groningen, and Master’s student Atreya Majumdar have now designed …
