The LHCb detector seen in 2018 during its opening. Credit: CERN Once a particle of matter, always a particle of matter. Or not. Thanks to a quirk of quantum physics, four known particles made up of two different quarks—such as the electrically neutral D meson composed of a charm quark and an up antiquark—can spontaneously […]
April 5, 2024 — STMicroelectronics recently introduced 100V trench Schottky rectifier diodes that boost efficiency in power converters operated at high switching frequencies. Raising power-converter operating frequency, encouraged by the minimal switching losses of technologies like wide-bandgap semiconductors, allows designers to set new benchmarks in power density. However, at elevated frequencies, the energy losses in conventional planar diodes, […]
This drop follows a record-setting 2023 with consolidated sales worth €21bn, buoyed up by semiconductors (+4%) while IPE declined 7.7% in that year. DMASS chairman, Hermann Reiter, said that the good performance in the first half of 2023 softened the blow of the slowdown. “Admittedly, distribution revenues were driven by orders and sales brought forward […]
Looking like a general-purpose problem solver for process control, Teledyne Relays has introduced a seven-function DIN rail mount timing relay that works over 100ms to 100 hours and offers a 5A 240Vac change-over (SPDT) contact, that can handle “small inductive loads” at 2.5A. Operation is over a wide range of ac or dc supplies. There […]
It is expected that by 2050, the Earth’s population will grow to 10 billion people or more. While it is possible that some limited new land can be brought under cultivation, it is clear that the world’s farmers will have to produce far more food with only scant increases of tillable land. Artificial Intelligence (AI) […]
