by Akin Akturk, PhD, Co-founder, CoolCAD Electronics High-sensitivity focal plane arrays deployed in low earth orbit (LEO) imaging satellites require readout integrated circuits that operate reliably at liquid nitrogen temperatures of approximately 77 K (minus 196 degrees Celsius). Silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices exhibit measurable shifts in threshold voltage, carrier …

Deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) has become an important enhancement process for ground engaging tools (GETs). These components operate in some of the harshest service environments where abrasive wear, repeated impact loading, and cyclic fatigue combine to cause premature failure. Unlike conventional heat treatment alone, DCT modifies the internal microstructure of …
As renewable energy, electrification and advanced research technologies continue to expand, the demands placed on wire and cable systems are evolving just as rapidly. Higher power densities, tighter system integration and increasingly extreme operating environments are pushing manufacturers beyond traditional commodity wire solutions. Caleb Lemmons, Business Development Manager at Pelican …
