Gallium nitride (GaN) is breaking out in the world of power electronics. GaN stands out for its superior physical properties, including high electron mobility, wide bandgap, and high thermal ...

Topological materials promise electronics that are faster, cooler, and far more robust, but until now they have mostly behaved like fixed, exotic curiosities rather than tunable components. That ...

University of British Columbia scientists have demonstrated a reversible way to switch the topological state of a quantum material. The figure images show the transition from gapless nodal loop (dark ...

Continental has been granted a patent for a method of switching electronic components using pulse-width modulation signals. The method controls output signals through control signals, adjusting them ...

(Nanowerk News) Conventional computer processors have pretty much maxed out their “clock speeds” — a measurement of how fast they can toggle on and off — due to limitations of electronic switching.

Fast-switching power converters are widely used, providing efficient conversion in a broad range of products across multiple markets. However, their rapid switching times can cause problems due to ...

Pickering Interfaces, the leading supplier of modular signal switching and simulation solutions for use in electronic test and verification, has announced Test System Architect, a free online ...

Light-activated switch could bridge the gap between optical and electronic communications. Conventional computer processors have pretty much maxed out their “clock speeds” — a measurement of how fast ...
