Put your name aboard NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

An illustration of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The NASA observatory was designed to settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics. Roman’s barrel-like shape will help block out unwanted light from the sun, Earth, and moon, and the spacecraft’s distant location will help keep the instruments cool. Image:Continue Reading

iav-and-nexperia-demonstrate-cell-level-ev-battery-control-with-bidirectional-gan-switching

Engineering specialist IAV and semiconductor firm Nexperia have developed a lab-validated concept called ONE Inverter that uses software-defined control and bidirectional GaN switching to manage individual battery sections rather than treating a pack as a single unit. In conventional series-string battery architectures, every cell must carry the same current, meaningContinue Reading
