Heat-resistant nanophotonic material could help turn heat into electricity

“A new nanophotonic material has broken records for high-temperature stability, potentially ushering in more efficient electricity production and opening a variety of new possibilities in the control and conversion of thermal radiation. Developed by a University of Michigan-led team of …

Highly integrated PFC boost controllers from STMicroelectronics eliminate startup-circuit design challenges

“STMicroelectronics’ L4985A/B and L4986A/B power-factor correction (PFC) boost controllers simplify design and enhance flexibility by integrating 800V startup circuitry and additional valuable proprietary features. The built-in high-voltage startup capability saves auxiliary circuitry, allowing a “no aux” design that …

How do magnetic fields affect star formation and high-energy-density lab experiments?

“Rochester researchers hope to explain how the fields occur in plasma instabilities. The famous Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebulae—a star nursery—are believed to result from the hydrodynamic instabilities that form when plasmas are exposed to high …

How to setup Pico as Edge device with Edge Impulse

“This is how to start to make Pico as ML model mounted Edge device. In this project, I would like to introduce embedded ML solution provider. Machine learning is a high-spec data operation that was possible on a high-spec computer …
