June 3, 2025 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Indium Corporation®, a leading materials refiner, smelter, manufacturer, and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, thin-film, and thermal management markets, has joined Virginia Tech’s Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES), an industry consortium that supports power electronics initiatives to reduce energy use while growing capability.
CPES is dedicated to improving electrical power processing and distribution that impact systems of all sizes, from battery-operated electronics and vehicles to regional and national electrical distribution systems. The organization has a worldwide reputation for its research advances, its work with industry to improve the entire field, and its many talented graduates.
With a specific focus on power device packaging, Indium Corporation continues to advance its portfolio of die-attach, package-attach, and thermal interface materials (TIMs) solutions that are custom-engineered to satisfy the mission profile demands for power electronics applications.
“Advancing materials technology is a key enabler to realize our design goals for power electronics,” said Ryan Mayberry, Senior Application Development Engineer at Indium Corporation. “Through collaboration with CPES, Indium Corporation will leverage innovations in materials science and align research and development initiatives to address future power device requirements.”

Beyond Design: The Fundamental Structure of Spectral Integrity
10/21/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignImpedance can be characterized in both the time and frequency domains. In the time domain, it influences how electromagnetic energy propagates through interconnects, affecting signal integrity and waveform fidelity. In the frequency domain, AC impedance determines how well the network can suppress noise and deliver clean power at a range of frequencies. AC impedance shapes how power rails respond to transient loads.
