Without immediate and decisive action, global temperatures will likely increase to levels that severely degrade living conditions for humans, animals, and plants on our planet [1]. There is thus a
The reverse recovery charge (Qrr ) of the body diode in vertical power MOSFETs exhibits exponential time-dependent behavior that directly impacts converter efficiency, especially in hard-switching power topologies where careful
The electrification of critical infrastructure demands power electronics systems with unprecedented resilience, reliability, and self-healing capabilities. Drawing inspiration from biological systems such as the human body’s self-repair mechanisms and collective
Smart actuators have become central to advancing humanoid robots, bringing essential features such as efficiency, precision, compactness, compliance, and intrinsic safety. Achieving human-like movements requires actuators that meet these criteria
NASA and its international partners have been tasked by their taxpayers with leading humanity back to the Moon….to stay, this time. NASA is carrying out this mission via Project Artemis.
