No kidding and no SMD: 8-kilowatt resistors

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. have introduced a new series of high power, high current mica grid resistors in the standard mill bank size. Offering designers a lower cost option to the standard stainless steel grid design, Vishay Milwaukee GREM feature power of 8 kW (no typo) at 40 °C, which is 23% higher than standard 6500-watt stainless steel grid resistors in the standard mill bank size. At the same time, GREM devices are 30% lighter than stainless steel grid resistors with the same power dissipation, and offer a favourable price point.

Nanoscale molecule insulates better than a vacuum

Researchers at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science have synthesized the first nanoscale molecule that offers better electrical insulation than a vacuum. To make the breakthrough the team exploited the wave nature of electrons. They made a rigid silicon-based molecule less than 1 nm in length that creates destructive interference signatures, thereby producing a novel method to block tunneling conduction at the nanoscale level and allow even smaller transistors to be fabricated...
