PHEV sales saw a significant rise with a 46 percent YoY growth, while BEV sales increased by just 7 percent YoY as OEMs gradually pulled off their BEV supply targets.

Reports now surfaced that global passenger EV (BEV+PHEV) sales grew 18 percent YoY in Q1 2024. While BEV sales increased by a modest 7 percent YoY during the quarter,…

Nowadays you can find a ton of portable soldering irons in the marker. The main selling point of all of them, compared to old-style soldering irons, is that they are temperature-controllable and can be powered from battery packs of PD-compatible power banks or charges, making them truly portable. TS100 and TS80 from Miniware and the open-source soldering iron Pinecil…

Hope you are aware of Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology, a non-thermal food preservation method that uses short bursts of high-voltage electricity to inactivate microorganisms and enzymes, thereby extending the shelf life and safety of food products without the need for high temperatures. Similarly, below is another use case of electronics in the field of taste…

STMicroelectronics has launched the new EVSPIN32G4-DUAL demonstration board that controls two motors from a single STSPIN32G4 integrated driver, accelerating product development and simplifying the PCB design and bill of materials. The EVSPIN32G4-DUAL board cuts the time to market for advanced industrial and consumer products such as robots,…
