[Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs](
Digi-Key Electronics
[ON Semiconductor]( [SiC MOSFETs]( available at Digi-Key, provide high efficiency, increased power density, and reduced system size. ON Semiconductor's [silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs]( use a technology that provides superior switching performance and higher reliability compared to silicon. In addition, the low ON resistance and compact chip size ensure low capacitance and gate charge. System benefits include high efficiency, faster operation frequency, increased power density, reduced EMI, and reduced system size.

R&D REPORT
[Wine makes everything better...even wearable technology](
[Wine makes everything better...even wearable technology](
Researchers have found that wearables often fail following repetitive bending and folding, which creates micro-cracks that interrupt the conductivity of the devices. University of Manchester scientists are hoping to [improve wearable technology]( using acids from red wine, black tea, and black coffee.

[This nuclear reactor is now entirely digital, a rarity in the U.S.](
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has licensed Purdue University Reactor Number One (PUR-1), which the university said is the [first entirely digital nuclear reactor]( instrumentation and control system in the country. This could aid widespread implementation of digital technology in both research and industry reactors.

[Surface tension — rings, bubbles, drops, and plates](
"The definition of Liquid Surface Tension is simple. It's the force that keeps a liquid from flying off into space. However, the measurement of surface tension can take many forms, which can be confusing. In an attempt to get some clarity, we have articulated two principle measurement concepts..."
