    The three-cell devices offer greater energy potential and power output than single or dual-cell parts.

  • Tandem solar cell design blends old and new building blocks

    A new type of solar cell made using selenium and silicon could offer a cost advantage while also delivering energy conversion efficiency.

  • PV-powered refrigerated warehouses keep their cool with ice storage

    The effect of two types of ice storage modes on the performance of a photovoltaic (PV)-powered refrigerated warehouse was evaluated.

  • Taming tokamak plasma with AI

    A deep reinforcement learning approach forecasts and prevents potential plasma instabilities that currently limit the potential of fusion energy.

  • The latest evolution of motor efficiency: ABB Baldor-Reliance SP4 motors

    The motor technology meets the NEMA Super Premium efficiency level in a standard AC induction motor design operating across the line, independently of a variable speed drive.

  • AchieVe fiber optic Ethernet patch cables from AutomationDirect

    These cables contain optical fibers that transmit data signals as light, offering much higher transmission speeds than copper cables, and are naturally immune to electromagnetic interference.

  • Compact MINIMET instrument enclosures can be specified in custom versions

    Applications include medical and wellness devices, test and measurement, industrial control, peripherals and interfaces, switchboxes, communications and laboratory equipment.

  • Why accurate pH and conductivity measurements are critical for battery manufacturing

    Explore how the performance and longevity of a battery are heavily dependent on one critical parameter — pH level.

  • Scroll compressor renders heat pumps viable in colder climates

    By increasing heat pump operating range, the compressor can help drive market adoption of heat pumps and decrease the need to burn fossil fuels for heating.

  • The advantages of a well-made electrical enclosure

    Overheating and moisture can shorten the life expectancy of the equipment in need of protection, resulting in major system failures and the possibility of electrical shock to users.

  • A multipurpose and efficient compressed air energy storage system

    Combining adiabatic compressed air storage and large-scale solid-oxide electrolysis cells can efficiently provide the heat and power needed for green hydrogen production.

  • DC motors and their applications

    Delve into the operational mechanism and components of DC motors and learn about the harmonious interaction that converts electrical energy into dynamic mechanical motion.
