Powering the Future: Why Thermal Management Defines the Future of Electronics
04/15/2026 | Brian Buyea -- Column: Powering the FutureEvery leap forward in electronics comes with a familiar consequence: heat. Whether it’s a power module driving an electric vehicle, a laser diode used in surgery, or a 5G amplifier operating in orbit, higher performance inevitably means higher temperatures. While engineers celebrate breakthroughs in speed, density, and power, none of those specifications matter if the system can’t keep cool long enough to perform reliably.

Road to Reliability: High Voltage Auxiliaries on the Road
02/04/2026 | Stanton Rak, SF Rak CompanyThus far, this series has focused on power electronics and controls that propel the vehicle. However, EVs are not solely defined by their propulsion system. While much attention is placed on inverters, traction motors, and battery cells, an ecosystem of high-voltage (HV) auxiliary systems sustains safety, comfort, and functionality. These systems, including compressors, heaters, coolant pumps, and the associated cabling, have evolved into critical components that ensure the vehicle functions reliably under a wide range of operating conditions.
