Abstract: Reversely switched dynistor (RSD) is a solid-state semiconductor switch with very high critical switched current rising rate and peak forward current. As a two-terminal switch, the RSD is ...
Abstract: Detection and localization of early internal short circuits (ISCs) in battery packs are critical for mitigating safety risks, including thermal runaway (TR). To address this issue, this ...
Chinese scientists have built a solar battery that captures sunlight and stores electricity at the same time with 4.2 percent ...
While standard receptacles typically use three wires -- hot, neutral and ground -- you'll occasionally find 2-prong outlets in older homes. Since this type of outlet lacks a ground connection, the ...
A new sodium-ion battery offers a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems, scientists say, paving the way for more sustainable EVs. When you purchase through links on our ...
