Five Smart Ways To Improve EV Battery Production
By Muge Deniz Meiller - 06 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Batteries and battery management systems are the heart of today's electric vehicles. These components define the performance, safety, and driving range of more than 16.5 million1 electric vehicles currently on the road. As electric vehicle and battery manufacturers continue to look for ways to increase the efficiency and speed of their production processes, many turn to Nordson EFD for prec... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 03 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Imec released its semiconductor roadmap, which calls for doubling compute power every six months to handle the data explosion and new data-intensive problems. Imec named five walls (scaling, memory, power, sustainability, cost) that need to be dismantled. The roadmap (below) stretches from 7nm to 0.2nm (2 angstroms) by 2036, and includes four generations of gate-all-around FETs followed by thre... » read more

Brrraaap: Full Throttle On Dirt Bike Electrification
By Laura Carter - 12 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

On a dirt bike almost any terrain is fair game. Once you hit the back roads, course correcting through open fields or wooded areas to get where you’re going (or not) is easy. These powerful-yet-agile gravel-and-dirt surfing, rock-hopping machines have been identified by some as the undisputed off-road champions — perfect for exploration in places larger vehicles simply can’t go. Dirt b... » read more

The Good And Bad Of Bi-Directional Charging
By Marie C. Baca and Ed Sperling - 11 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 2

Auto OEMs are starting to offer bi-directional charging in EVs, allowing batteries to power homes during outages or wherever else it is needed, and to smooth out any hiccups in the grid. But this technology also can shorten the lifetime of batteries, and it can open the door to more cyberattacks. The idea behind bi-directional charging is simple enough. EVs can store huge amounts of power, a... » read more

Research Bits: Oct. 10
By Jesse Allen - 10 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Disposable water-activated battery Researchers at Empa developed a water-activated disposable paper battery that could be used in low-power, single-use disposable electronics such as smart labels for tracking objects, environmental sensors, and medical diagnostic devices. The battery is made of at least one cell measuring one centimeter squared and consisting of three inks printed onto a re... » read more

Authenticating Batteries Before Rapid And Fast Charging
By Infineon - 10 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

If asked, most consumers will complain about the battery life of their smartphone. In reality, this is more a charging issue since, with traditional charging solutions, even a couple of hours of charging can result in a minimal improvement in charge on some handsets. Smartphone manufacturers are differentiating their offering by providing fast or rapid charging solutions. However, this places t... » read more

Where Are The Autonomous Cars?
By Marie C. Baca - 08 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

Are we there yet? Governments, consumers, and engineers alike want to know how close the automotive world is to producing a fully autonomous Level 5 vehicle. While some experts say such vehicles could hit the road in the next few years, they're a shrinking minority. Most forecasts say a truly self-driving car is at least a decade away — and maybe much longer, because it requires disruptive... » read more

All-Solid-State Batteries: Substantial Deterioration of ASSBs Can Occur After High-Temperature Storage
By Technical Paper Link - 04 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

New technical paper titled "Detrimental effect of high-temperature storage on sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries" was just published by researchers at Seoul National University, National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (Taiwan), and Battery Material Lab at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology. According to this AIP article, "The team found storage as low as 70 degrees Cels... » read more

Research paper titled "Superabsorption in an organic microcavity: Toward a quantum battery" from researchers at University of Adelaide (Australia), University of Sheffield (UK), Politecnico di Milano (Italy), University of St Andrews (UK), and Heriot-Watt University. Abstract (Partial) "Here, we implement experimentally a paradigmatic model of a quantum battery, constructed of a microcavity... » read more

What Quantum Batteries Have in Store
By David Jen - 22 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Quantum battery technology is approaching an inflection point similar to the one quantum computing crossed a decade or so ago, escalating it from a theoretical curiosity to an engineering challenge worth solving. Quantum batteries exploit the strange physical laws of the very small — the quantum world — to gain performance advantages over classical batteries. Recent research on charging ... » read more
