Two of the top considerations in data center and server power-supply unit (PSU) designs are power density and efficiency. Meeting the strictest efficiency standard—80 Plus Titanium—is now a minimum ...

Using a laser to stimulate a photocurrent and a magnetic field to control it, researchers have devised a scheme for measuring a current’s flow stream. Why there’s a need to assess current-flow ...

Current sources are widely used in industrial control systems to transport analog process signals over long distances, but they are less widely used than voltage sources. This post loosely reviews the ...

LEM has introduced a unique current sensor for electric-vehicle (EV) battery management. Dubbed the Hybrid Supervising Unit (HSU), the device is the first on the market to integrate both shunt and ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

The incessant demand for more speed in chips requires forcing more energy through ever-smaller devices, increasing current density and threatening long-term chip reliability. While this problem is ...
