Process Technology from Ensinger Provides Alternative Methods to Make Transformers & Sensors 

October 7, 2025 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Process Technology from Ensinger Provides Alternative Methods to Make Transformers & Sensors 

Whether used to convert voltage in the power supply of a laptop computer or to convert signals in a LAN router, transformers are among the most important electronic components on the market. However, the way many transformers are currently produced can be expensive and requires a lot of manual labor. In addition, the winding technology currently used limits miniaturization and increases the size of conventional transformers.  […]

Magnetic Components from Exxelia Key to Mission Success of NISAR Satellite 

October 2, 2025 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Magnetic Components from Exxelia Key to Mission Success of NISAR Satellite 

A collaboration between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization, NISAR will use synthetic aperture radar to monitor nearly all the planet’s land- and ice-covered surfaces twice every 12 days. The satellite was launched July 30 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on India’s southeastern coast. Onboard are sophisticated magnetic inductors from Exxxelia that have critical function for the mission’s success.  […]

Making Magnets: At Los Alamos National Laboratory’s MagLab, Magnets are Designed and Built for Research in High Magnetic Fields

September 29, 2025 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Making Magnets: At Los Alamos National Laboratory’s MagLab, Magnets are Designed and Built for Research in High Magnetic Fields

The magnets at the MagLab—the Los Alamos National Laboratory branch of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory—are some of the strongest in the world, capable of reaching 100 tesla. (For comparison, a refrigerator magnet is about 0.005 tesla, and the Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.00005 tesla). […]
