“This announcement will unleash over $40 billion in investment from Samsung, and cement central Texas’s role as a state-of-the-art semiconductor ecosystem, creating at least 21,500 jobs and leveraging up to $40 million in CHIPS funding to train and develop the local workforce,” said President Joe Biden. In addition to the proposed direct funding of up […]
Cheese byproduct converts electronic waste into gold. Key Things to Know: The global e-waste problem is escalating, with millions of metric tonnes generated annually, necessitating innovative recycling solutions. Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method using cheese byproduct whey protein to efficiently extract gold from electronic waste. This new technique not only promises to reduce environmental […]

Otto, GSI/FAIR Since the turn of the century, six new chemical elements have been discovered and subsequently added to the periodic table of elements, the very icon of chemistry. These new elements have high atomic numbers […]
“The laser diodes are available with different optical power levels: 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100mW,” according to component distributor Rutronik, which is stocking the parts. “To ensure eye protection, the green laser diodes in the TO56 housing have an integrated photodiode that monitors and controls the optical output power.” Rutronik singled out these two […]
“The HE-R2A relay series is suited for modern wall box designs, and we are happy that we can offer a UL508-compliant sibling of the HE-R type for European four-phase systems, enabling the consolidation of switching functions onto PCBs with space savings,” said Panasonic product manager Bernd Jaschinski. For example, the short-circuit rating to UL508 is […]

Markets continue to vary markedly in performance, with sharp declines in the Communications, Data-Processing, and Mass-Transport markets. Key Stats: – • Order-book is down 8% against 2022 • Book to Bill remains just positive at 1:02 • Distribution now has a […]
The automotive grade mosfets are in a new TO-leadless package, designed to optimise current capability for on-board batteries in two- and three-wheel vehicles and other light vehicles, automotive BLDC motor and battery management for e-mobility. According to the company, the automotive TOLL package uses advanced clip technology to achieve a high in-rush current rating. This […]
Long-life pacemakers powered by plutonium-based thermal decay were implanted beginning in the 1970s, but better battery technology, safety concerns, and regulatory issues made them obsolete within a few decades. The technology Q: What did the nuclear pacemaker look like? How is it identified? A: The unit’s electronics are embedded in epoxy, with the plutonium power […]
