PCB Design Software Powering the Next Tech Wave
Printed circuit board (PCB) design software is a specialized tool used to automate circuit board design processes such as schematic creation, PCB layout design, 3D visualization, trace routing and component footprint creation. It enables engineers and designers to simulate their designs and validate functionality before production.
Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) Aircraft: Redefining the Future of Urban Air Mobility
Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft refer to a new type of drone designed to carry passengers. These aircraft use multiple electric motors and rotors to gain the lift needed and propulsion. These are completely dependent on electric power for their operation, making them attractive as a sustainable mode of transport.
The 10-Minute Charging Revolution: Niobium-Enhanced Fast-Charging Battery
Niobium (Nb) is rapidly becoming a game-changing element in energy storage batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries, with advantages such as fast charging speeds, safety and better performance. Electric vehicles (EVs) face a major challenge: the time required to recharge.
Carnot Battery: Transforming Energy Storage in the Future
A Carnot battery stores electricity and converts it into thermal energy. During charging, energy powers different technologies like heaters and heat pumps and creates a temperature differential between a high temperature (HT) and a low temperature (LT) reservoir.
Regenerative or Reversible Fuel Cells: Energy Storage Solution for Renewables
Regenerative or reversible fuel cells (RFC) are advanced energy devices that can operate in two modes: fuel cells and electrolyzer modes. In the fuel cell mode, these cells use hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity, whereas the electrolyzer mode utilizes electricity to split water molecules, producing hydrogen and oxygen gas.
Perovskite Quantum Dots (PQDs): Tiny Crystals Driving Big Innovations
Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that bridge the superior optoelectronic properties of lead-halide perovskites with the size-tunable effects of quantum confinement. Since their first synthesis in 2012, PQDs have existed as nanocrystals—generally sized 2–15 nanometers, allowing for tunable band gaps, emission colors and exciton dynamics through composition, size, shape and surface chemistry.
