A new cooling technology has been proposed for EV high-current charging cables. The system relies on the use of subcooled flow boiling to remove the heat from the cable. Experiments were performed to ...

A nanotechnology-based manufacturing process from American Superconductor (Westborough, MA) promises a 30% increase in current-carrying capacity of the company's 2G high-temperature wire. Enabling a ...

Carbon nanotube-based fibers have greater capacity to carry electrical current than copper cables of the same mass, scientists show. On a pound-per-pound basis, carbon nanotube-based fibers invented ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University engineers have invented a new, patent-pending charging station cable that would fully recharge certain electric vehicles in under five minutes – about the same ...

We numerically estimated the ampacity of the CNT–Cu composite by assuming that the material ruptured by current-induced Joule heating, leading to melting. The temperature increase by current is ...

The rapid advent of the high-power module era has made the industry acutely aware of the new challenges presented by module technology. Based on the concept of maximizing customer profit at the system ...

Recent research into the properties of graphene nanoribbons provides two new reasons for using the material as interconnects in future computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nanometers, graphene ...

With the increasing frequency of natural disasters including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires and storms with severe lightning, electric utilities worldwide have proactively ...

The Code requirements for optical fiber vary with the type of cable used Fiber optic cable has many advantages over competing technologies, including increased information capacity (by orders of ...
