6mΩ 750V SiC FET from UnitedSiC 

A 6mΩ 750V SiC transistor is amongst nine devices announced by UnitedSiC. The company decribes the transistors as ‘FETs’, although each is a co-packaged cascode pair of a depletion-mode high-voltage SiC JFET and a low-voltage silicon mosfet. “At a Rds(on) of less than half the nearest SiC mosfet competitor, the 6mΩ device also provides a short-circuit ...

Superconductivity found in CeH9 and CeH10

Researchers from Skoltech of Moscow and Jilin University Of Changchun, China have experimentally shown superconductivity in cerium superhydrides CeH9 and CeH10. The road to superconductivity, an extremely attractive physical property of some materials that do not lose energy to heat because they have zero resistance, lies through tough terrain. It requires either extremely low temperatures (135 K, or minus ...
