There's a Great Future in Batteries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mr. McGuire: "I just want to say one word to you. Just one word." Mr. McGuire: "There's a great future in [batteries]. Think about it. Will you think about it?" While it would completely wreck the symbolism of the movie scene, I stand firm in saying that the next big wave of disruption to the way we build and do things, the one that has the greatest impact on the future of our species, is imminent battery innovation. Whether for mobility, grid storage, winged pseudo-satellites that threaten low-
Tektronix Extends 7 Series from Four to Eight 25-GHz Channels in New Scope (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the signals that matter are scattered across multiple instruments, the measurement problem becomes much larger than bandwidth alone. Correlation, trigger alignment, channel-to-channel skew, memory depth, probe loading, and the physical complexity of the bench all become part of the experiment. Tektronix’s new DPO718AX is designed to collapse much of that complexity into one 8U rack instrument. Announced as an expansion of the company’s premium 7 Series DPO oscilloscope line (reading about t
This New Lithium Cell Tech May Put SpaceX Out of Business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amprius Technologies Inc. (NYSE: AMPX) introduced its second-generation SiCore battery platform. The silicon-anode lithium-ion cell is rated at 500 Wh/kg for uncrewed electric aviation systems (UAS) and other applications where battery mass directly limits mission endurance. According to the company, the SiCore 500 cell achieves that specific-energy figure at a continuous 1C discharge rate and, crucially, can be built using conventional lithium-ion manufacturing equipment. Commercial availabilit
DARPA Announces Lift Challenge 2.0 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"With the electric propulsion inflection point for aviation revealed exclusively here at Electronic Design, and given DARPA has half of that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize money left over, I say it's time for a DARPA Electric Lift Challenge in 2027, with no fuels allowed as onboard energy sources and double the course legs to 2,200 ft. Make it Lambda >5 to collect the full prize money to push the helis' tech harder and do Dayton in September to ease up a bit on the toll on both machines and humans." —
Stratasys 3D Printers Rig Rolls on U.S. Tour (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, I had my 10-year-old minion under my roof, and I took on soccer mom duties in getting her to and from a morning soccer camp I signed her up for. With the laptop and phone, I can work from pretty much anywhere, so I'm either the lone nerd in the bleachers with a laptop or I retire to the air-conditioned comfort of my EV. There, I can plug into a little 12-V, 300-W inverter that easily lets me work my own body's limitation of hours without having to worry about a flat battery or burning
