Hot electron capture would be one way to improve the efficiency of Perovskite solar cells, by directing the energy of those electrons to the external circuit, rather than allowing it to become heat within the semiconductor. Now a team from University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore think they have ...

US engineers have used a remotely-piloted drone to survey power lines without visual or radar contact. Flown as part of the Kansas Department of Transportation’s unmanned aircraft pilot program, the drone used automatic on-board detect-and-avoid systems to make this beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operation possible. “This marks the first true BVLOS flight in the nation and is ...

Allegro has introduced a dc-dc converter designed for keep-alive duties in cars. Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified, it will operate with inputs from 3.5 to 36V (withstanding 40 V load dump surge) and draws just 8μA when maintaining 3.3 or 5.0V on the output. Called ARG81800, two versions are available: 500 mA and 1 A, to allow smaller PCBs ...

Powerbox is aiming at data centres that use electronics flooded in liquid for cooling – so called ‘immerged applications’ – with a mains-to-12V power supply. Called OFI600A12, it is the result of two years research and development, according to the firm: “Beside requiring a new mechanical approach to facilitate fluid circulation through and around the ...

OMC has introduced two surface-mount LEDs, one with a 15° beam and one at 60°. Both LEDs are produced in a range of package styles at different wavelengths including infra-red versions. “Narrow beam angle LEDs are often challenging for designers to source with the move to surface-mount components,” according to OMC. “This wasn’t so much ...
