    ­20 years of LFPAK technology

    Ding Yandoc led the team who developed LFPAK packaging

      Up until relatively recently, the packaging of power semiconductors was not high on the list of priorities when designing products. However, the continuing need to fit more power into smaller footprints has meant that situation has changed, and the specifications of the packaging have become almost as

    Lithium-sulfur technology comes closer to challenging Li-ion

    Microstructure and elemental mapping (silicon, oxygen and sulfur) of porous sulfur-containing interlayer after 500 charge-discharge cycles in lithium-sulfur cell

    Batteries are the hottest topic in the technology field. Many chemistries are being investigated to try either replace the Li-ion batteries we use today, or to provide a solution for an individual application and save on the amount of lithium that is extracted. Although none of the research has really come to f

    Raising Green Hydrogen Extraction Efficiency

    A large lens concentrates sunlight onto the water-splitting catalyst. Outdoors, the device was ten times more efficient than previous efforts at solar water splitting.

    The single biggest problem currently with renewable energy is that the sources are not consistent or predictable. A cloudy or windless day and less energy is generated, and the power grid has to be supplemented by other means. Most of these other ways of generating power, such as coal, oil and natural gas are major co
