- The amazing technology behind EV batteries (01/11/2022)
  
  Unlike a single energy storage element, such as a fuel tank, electric vehicle (EV) battery packs consist of hundreds of individual lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery cells in a long series. When not operated within a carefully controlled range, the capacity & lifetime of these battery cells can diminish & diverge over time & operating conditions.
- Residual current monitoring offers an alternative to insulation resistance measurement on production equipment (01/11/2022)
  
  Often, conventional insulation measurements in production systems can be quite costly. In some cases, systems must be shut down completely, or components such as frequency converters or switching power supplies disconnected, because the sensitive semiconductor components can be damaged by the test voltages.
- Industry urged to showcase engineering during the 10th Tomorrow’s Engineers Week (27/10/2022)
  
  Employers & engineers are being asked to flood social media with positive images, stories & messages about engineering careers to show young people the real face of engineering.
- Game changing PSU platform collaboration from consumer electronics power supply manufacturer & Pulsiv (06/10/2022)
  
  A leader in power solutions for consumer electronics applications, Salom has announced a new 150W PSU platform based on Pulsiv Osmium technology. Cambridge-based power electronics start-up, Pulsiv has developed an entirely new method of converting AC to DC that enhances conventional flyback topologies to replace more expensive LLC solutions in compact power supplies that deliver an astonishing flat efficiency profile with no inrush current at both hi & low-line input voltage!
- Big Bang is inviting young people to get involved in STEM projects (06/10/2022)
  
  The Big Bang is inspiring students to think big, problem solve and come up with amazing ideas to solve real issues in science & engineering. Young people can get creative following easy step-by-steps with The Big Bang Challenge, a new resource to guide students through the stages of STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics) project work.
