Microchip has introduced 3.3 kV HV-D3 mSiC power modules for solid-state transformers, combining SiC MOSFETs, Schottky diodes, and high-voltage isolation for AI data centers and medium-voltage power systems.
Read MoreChinese Nuclear Battery Provides 100 Years of Power
China has introduced a groundbreaking innovation in energy storage: a miniature nuclear battery, the BV100, capable of powering devices for up to 100 years without recharging. Developed by Betavoltaic, this tiny battery uses nickel-63 as a power source and utilizes beta decay to produce a steady stream of energy. While this technology is a significant leap forward for industries like healthcare, aerospace, and environmental sensing, it’s not poised to replace conventional batteries in everyday electronics. Despite its impressive longevity, the BV100’s limited power output makes it ideal for low-energy devices such as medical implants and space probes, not high-demand gadgets like smartphones. While promising, its use of radioactive materials also raises safety and disposal concerns.
