  • 1800V photorelay powers safer and more efficient high-voltage EV batteries

    Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH launches the TLX9165T, an automotive photorelay in a 10-pin SO16L-T package, that achieves an output withstand voltage of 1800V (min.). It is designed specifically to support the battery management system (BMS) for high-voltage, 800V electric vehicle (EV) batteries and battery energy storage systems (ESS). The wider adoption of EVs is significantly…


  • Salk Institute’s ShortStop revolutionizes genetic search

    Proteins sustain life as we know it, serving many important structural and functional roles throughout the body. But these large molecules have cast a long shadow over a smaller subclass of proteins called microproteins. Microproteins have been lost in the 99% of DNA disregarded as “noncoding”-hiding in vast, dark stretches of unexplored genetic code. But…


  • Black Death victims offer clues to childhood malnutrition and adult disease

    The Black Death arrived on the shores of England in May 1348 and, in less than two years, spread throughout the country, killing an estimated 2 million people. The death toll from the disease, which was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, got so high that officials in London and other cities opened new cemeteries…


  • Gas detection cameras for methane leaks

    The pressure is on. With the EU Methane Regulation (2024/1787) now in effect, energy producers across Europe are under increased scrutiny to detect and repair methane leaks across their operations. The goal? To ensure the prevention of the avoidable release of methane into the atmosphere and drive down emissions across the entire fossil fuel supply…


  • New high-selectivity nanozyme enables rapid and visible disease diagnostics

    To enable early diagnosis of acute illnesses and effective management of chronic conditions, point-of-care testing (POCT) technology—diagnostics conducted near the patient—is drawing global attention. The key to POCT lies in enzymes that recognize and react precisely with specific substances. However, traditional natural enzymes are expensive and unstable, and nanozymes (enzyme-mimicking catalysts) have suffered from low…


  • Motion systems for tomorrow’s exoskeletons

    Requiring compact, low-weight, and torque-dense motion systems, exoskeleton designers continue to see the advantages of frameless brushless DC (BLDC) motors with harmonic gearing. Particularly for complex, multi-jointed exoskeleton applications, engaging the right support in motion development from the outset can save significant project development time. Gerard Bush explains Once the dream of a bionic future,…


  • Hydraulic motor for drum drives features 92% total efficiency

    Danfoss Power Solutions announces the launch of its Thorx CLM 5 C cam lobe motor. Designed for drum drives on road rollers and other compaction equipment, the CLM 5 C hydraulic motor joins the S motors for skid steers and the recently launched T motors for compact track loaders in the Thorx lineup. The CLM…

  • Oral cancer risk triples among individuals with cannabis use disorder

    A recent study by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine has found that individuals with cannabis use disorder (CUD) are more than three times more likely to develop oral cancer within five years compared to those without CUD. The study highlights the potential long-term health risks associated with problematic cannabis…
