Magnachip Semiconductor is moving into the high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage silicon carbide market by licensing Navitas Semiconductor’s GeneSiC technology. The license covers Navitas’ Gen 4 and Gen 5 GeneSiC Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) technologies at 1,200 V, 2,300 V, 3,300 V and higher. GeneSiC came to Navitas through its August 2022 acquisitionContinue Reading
EnerSys will dedicate the lithium cell factory it plans to build in Greenville, South Carolina, to developing and manufacturing cells for aerospace and defense applications and for specialized industrial applications that EnerSys says require a US-based supply chain. The company says the facility is intended to supply foreign entity ofContinue Reading
Scientists work on the Roman Space Telescope. (Image credit: NASA/Sophia Roberts) NASA announced on Tuesday (July 28) that it has officially fueled-up the Roman Space Telescope — a magnificent new observatory expected to generate over 500 terabytes of cosmic data per year. By comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope, in its 35 years of service, hasContinue Reading
SpaceX launched 24 more satellites for its Starlink network on Saturday (July 25), a day after demonstrating it could do the same on its next-gen rocket. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying Starlink group 17-51 lifted off at 11:51 a.m. EDT (1521 GMT or 8:51 a.m. PDT local time) on Saturday from Space Launch Complex 4Continue Reading
This fall, with watchOS 27, Apple Watch will finally get access to Siri AI with a software update that turns your wrist into the most widely-used wearable AI platform on Earth. That’s not hyperbole. Siri AI on Apple Watch is arguably the most important feature to this year’s watchOS update. Though it didn’t get much attention atContinue Reading
When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks, the tech industry listens. He used his first-ever post on X last week to argue that open AI models “strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.” Nvidia is a chip company (with a focus on GPUs). But it also has itsContinue Reading

While most older fourth-generation fighter jets are able to fly at supersonic speeds, they have to engage their afterburners, which reduces their range. Not only do afterburners use an incredible amount of limited fuel, but they also place enormous thermal stress on the engines, accelerating wear and increasing maintenance requirements.Continue Reading
Modern commercial jet engines are among the most refined pieces of engineering ever developed. They are quieter, more fuel-efficient, and dramatically cleaner than the engines that powered earlier generations of airliners. So in this video, we take a look at why Boeing introduced engine chevrons, how they reduce noise, whyContinue Reading
SystemRescue 13.00 Released with Linux Kernel 6.18 LTS and Many Useful Improvements. SystemRescue 13.00 is now available. This is a significant update to the popular Arch-based live Linux distribution that many of us use for system repair and data rescue tasks. If you work with broken systems, need to recoverContinue Reading
The official OMG! Ubuntu add-on for Firefox is back – albeit far later than planned (sorry about that). If you’ve used our Chrome extension over the last decade, this add-on will be familiar as it’s the same thing, just in Firefox. Same look and (almost) the same features because it’sContinue Reading
