Versinetic cuts EV charger parts count with new board
The boards are targeted at OEMs to build a single or dual socket charger with just a single controller.
TrendForce warns of widening data center power gap
Global demand could outstrip grid supply by 268 GW as CSPs race to build AI infrastructure.
More light, longer distances — Teledyne’s new ToF camera
The 3D device works in logistics, robotics, inspection and surveillance.
4 springs that can replace a coil spring
Wave springs are a major category of springs often overlooked, offering alternative configurations that enable engineers to optimize space, weight, force requirements and overall design flexibility.
From roadmap to rack: What engineers must solve to make 800 VDC practical
AI data centers are concentrating more graphics processing units (GPUs) and more power into individual racks to improve computing performance and reduce chip-to-chip communication delays.
Plastic waste turned into protein-packed cookies
In a bid to repurpose plastic waste, the team modified yeasts so that plastic and agricultural waste could be converted into edible proteins and flavoring molecules.
Self-healing hydrogel packs powerful healing and sensing into one material
The UESTC team suggests it has overcome such limitations with a hydrogel that combines room-temperature self-healing, strong inherent adhesion and interfacial capacitive sensing within a single material.
Can data centers stabilize the grid?
An argument for turning the facilities into an energy resource.
Air traffic control is becoming more automated. Is regulation keeping up?
The introduction of automated air traffic control systems aims to improve the operational safety and efficiency of air traffic controllers. But these automated systems could introduce new risks.
What is pH drift? How is it fixed?
Not all drifting pH readings indicate that the sample is changing. Sample pH drift results from genuine chemical changes in the sample, whereas electrode drift originates from the sensor or measurement system itself. Distinguishing between these two sources is essential.
Octopus-inspired patch delivers a powerful boost to drug delivery
To develop the patch, the team combined cellulose nanofibers with an octopus-inspired suction architecture to achieve both attachment stability and transdermal delivery performance.
ITG expands high voltage choke portfolio
The nanocrystalline core devices are designed for higher-voltage electronic systems.
Legrand's new outlet tackles 2026 NEC EV rule
The goal is to meet growing EV adoption and homeowners wanting new infrastructure.
New adhesives grip hard, then release with precision
The team developed a tape featuring adhesive and plastic backing layers that can be recycled together. Aptly called a "mono-material," both of the tape’s layers are chemically similar but perform different functions.
New printing system lets smartphones instantly verify anti-counterfeit labels
The smartphone-based detector can reportedly measure how light interacts with the anti-counterfeit label, the data from which is subsequently analyzed with a machine-learning system to confirm the origin of the label in question.
New hydrogel packaging offers a freshness check with just a glance
Designed to offer shoppers a visible signal of food spoilage without opening the package, this new material can also reportedly self-repair, thus keeping bacteria out during shipping and handling.
How to choose the right pH sensor
The pH electrode is the core component of the pH measurement system, responsible for sensing and detecting changes in pH levels accurately. It converts the chemical information — specifically the activity of hydrogen ions in the sample — into an electrical potential.
‘Nanobone’ gives the body a new way to regrow bone
The calcium-aluminosilicate nanomaterial triggers the body’s own transforming growth factor ß1 (TGF-ß1), which immediately encourages clotting and recruits bone-forming stem cells to expedite bone regeneration.
Understanding transient flow in high-viscosity pumps
Transient flow analysis is expected to become a standard part of automated fluid handling and process optimization in high-viscosity pumping applications.
New seaweed-inspired approach removes ocean microplastics regardless of size
According to its developers, the biopolymer mesh cleans microplastics from both saltwater and freshwater, thereby helping to lessen the impact of microplastics on aquatic ecosystems.
