Don’t Overlook These Keys to Optimized Converter Performance

Len Crane, Senior Technologist, Coilcraft

Inductors function as circuit elements by reaction to current flow in the windings. Inductors are fundamentally current-driven devices, and anyone who has designed a dc-dc converter knows power inductor datasheets are covered with Irms and Isat current ratings. Picking a power inductor is all about current ratin

Chinese Scientists Discover Ubiquitous, Increasing Ferric Iron on Lunar Surface

CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES HEADQUARTERS

The Moon has been considered extremely reductive since the Apollo era, as estimated by the low ferric iron content in lunar samples returned in the 1970s. In addition, it has long been a mystery whether a large amount of ferric iron exists on the Moon and how it is formed. Recently, however, a research team led
