News STMicroelectronics’ GaN driver integrates galvanic isolation for superior safety and reliability
“STMicroelectronics’ first galvanically isolated gate driver for gallium-nitride (GaN) transistors, the STGAP2GS, trims dimensions and bill-of-materials costs in applications that demand superior wide-bandgap efficiency with robust safety and electrical protection. The single-channel driver can be connected to a high-voltage rail …
News STMicroelectronics reveals latest FlightSense™ multi-zone distance sensor with camera-like field of view
“STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has revealed a new FlightSense™ multi-zone distance sensor with 90° field of view – the industry’s best and 33% larger than the previous generation. The …
“The foundry gives the wider research community access to Lincoln Laboratory’s expertise in fabricating quantum circuits. In the past three decades, quantum computing has grown from a theoretical fantasy to a worldwide industry, pushing closer to a technology that …
“A new computational method facilitates the dense placement of objects inside a rigid container. In 1611, Johannes Kepler — known for his laws of planetary motion — offered a solution to the question concerning the densest possible way to arrange equal-sized spheres …
“Chemists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new way to recycle a common type of plastic found in soda bottles and other packaging. The team’s method relies on electricity and some nifty chemical reactions, and it …
“It seems quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously. In a new publication, UT researchers use photons in an optical chip to demonstrate how both theories can be true at the same time. They recently published their results in …
“I want to make wearable and portable computing more practical, but keyboards must be on-screen or carried in a backpack. Exotic models, e.g., chording keyboards, require relearning to type. A simple solution is to build something with a familiar …
“In the first moments of our universe, countless numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons formed alongside their antimatter counterparts. As the universe expanded and cooled, almost all these matter and antimatter particles met and annihilated each other, leaving only photons …
“Scientists have found evidence of a universal background of gravitational waves, or ripples in the fabric of space-time. The motion of black holes and other massive objects through space can create ripples in the fabric of the universe, called gravitational …
“Device protects optical systems from unwanted reflections with dramatically enhanced performance. An optical isolator developed at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) could drastically improve optical systems for many practical applications. All optical systems …
