How hard can it be to create your own inductors? Get a wire. Coil it up. Right? Well, the devil is definitely in the details, and [Nick] wants to share his ten tips for building “the perfect” inductor ...

We report a fabrication technology for 3D air-core inductors for small footprint and very-high-frequency power conversions. Our process is scalable and highly generic for fabricating inductors with a ...

[Ludic Science] shows us the basic principles that lie behind the humble boost converter. We all take them for granted, especially when you can make your own boost converter or buy one for only a few ...

Scientists from NPL have developed improvements to a technique for measuring dielectric permittivity and loss of materials at MHz frequencies. The method used is named after two NPL scientists who ...

Thermodynamic Magic: A simple technique allows to cool hot materials below ambient temperature without external intervention, seemingly defying the laws of physics. This material relates to a paper ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has developed the world's smallest power inductor, a core electronic component that ensures stable electricity supply to semiconductors, with an aim to capitalize on rapidly ...
