In order to reap the benefits of Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA) high energy density, the electronics powering the actuator should be as small as possible. Knowing that only a small fraction of the energy delivered to DEAs is effectively converted into ...

At the end of a rush lasting over half a century, in which CMOS technology has been experiencing a constant and breathtaking increase of device speed and density, Moore's law is approaching the insurmountable barrier given by the ultimate atomic nature of ...

Insects are a constant source of inspiration for roboticists. Their compliant bodies allow them to squeeze through small openings and be highly resilient to impacts. However, making subgram autonomous soft robots untethered and capable of responding intell ...

Modern grids are facing a massive integration of power electronics devices, usually associated to instability issues. In order to assess the likelihood and severity of harmonic instability in the high frequency region, this work develops a multi-variable i ...

Increase in heat fluxes as a result of the miniaturization of power electronics demands new thermal management solutions such as liquid cooling, because of its high heat extraction capabilities. This work describes a new silicon-based heat sink that takes ...

In multiwinding transformers, different geometry of the individual windings leads to unbalanced leakage flux paths. The unbalance affects the behavior of the power electronic converters, where these transformers are used. This paper proposes an approach to ...

With the evolution of power electronics technologies, DC networks have been considered as promising distribution systems for future grids. This new concept of power systems comes with technical challenges in protection coordination, a result of the no natu ...

Steep-slope transistors allow to scale down the supply voltage and the energy per computed bit of information as compared to conventional field-effect transistors (FETs), due to their sub-60 mV/decade subthreshold swing at room temperature. Currently pursu ...

Conductive nanocomposites have emerged as significant smart engineered materials for realizing flexible electronics on diverse substrates in recent years. Conductive nanocomposites are comprised of conductive fillers mixed with polymeric elastomer (e.g. po ...
