Simulation-driven thermal management design for electronics: Whitepaper
Sponsored by Simscale Adopting digital prototyping techniques to explore the full design space and reduce the typical trial-and-error approach of physical prototyping, has been stifled by the limited computational resources available to engineers. Local computing power does not scale up on-demand, nor offers continuously evolving full-spectrum simulation and analysis capabilities. In this whitepaper, we discuss… Read more »
Researchers claim their recycled cathodes aren’t as good as new—they’re better
A large-scale system for efficiently recycling batteries will be a critical part of the new clean energy ecosystem. However, battery manufacturers and automakers may well be concerned that recycled products may be lower in quality than those built from newly mined minerals. Now a team of researchers has developed a recycling method that involves refurbishing… Read more »
