    Fibre Battery can be Woven and Washed

    This submarine drone is powered by a 20-meter-long fiber battery that is wrapped on its surface.

    For me, one of the most interesting areas of the industry is flexible electronics. Traditional devices are designed onto a circuit board and enclosed in a box. The advent of the Internet of Things has meant that electronic designs have to be integrated into all sorts of places, some of which have no room for any si

    The Correct Route Extends EV Range

    Balázs Kulcsár, Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology

    One of the main stumbling blocks to electric vehicle adoption is range anxiety. Until now most of the focus on extending range was on the vehicle itself and the battery that holds the electric charge. There is no doubt that making the vehicle lighter, the electric drivetrain more efficient and the battery hold m

    New Power Architecture for AC/DC Converters
    The company claims that the new architecture is an alternative to active clamp flyback (ACF) and quasi-resonant (QR) topologies. However, it does operate in a similar way to the ACF topology. According to Eggtronic CEO, Igor Spinella the secret sauce is in the custom controller, which runs an algorithm to ensure that Ze
