Operational life in portable electronics like cellular phones and media players hinges on how efficiently energy is transferred from the battery to the load and no other electronic component can equal ...

Almost all semiconductor products are sensitive to light, but this feature has been especially optimized for photodetectors (photodiodes and phototransistors). These are employed to sense or measure ...

Chilling out: in principle, a thermal inductor could help convert boiling water to ice without using any external energy. (Courtesy: A Schilling and AC Mangham) A consequence of the second law of ...

Inductors rely on the magnetic field that forms around a current-carrying conductor that tends to resist changes in the current. Electric current through the conductor creates a magnetic flux ...

Santa Ana, Calif. — Coil Winding Specialist (CWS) says its new state-of-the-art filter inductor series offers the highest current density in the smallest package. The new Series E70340-xxx supplies an ...

Could the inductor be redesigned in a fundamentally new way? Yes, according to new work by researchers in the US, Japan and China who have made the first high-performance inductors from intercalated ...
