"Advanced magnetic materials are critical for next-generation power conversion systems that use high-frequency linked converters, and can complement Sandia efforts in ultra-wide bandgap device materials for improved power electronics systems. They can withstand higher frequencies and higher temperatures, which ultimately result in high power density designs," said Atcitty.

Monson, Atcitty and their team built on Sandia's expertise in power electronics and magnetic materials in strong collaborations with University of California, Irvine, and Arizona State University researchers, who helped with materials processing and systems-level modeling.

Team members from Sandia and UC Irvine have filed a patent application for the materials synthesis process.

"Power electronics represents a substantial cost factor in an effective energy storage system," said Imre Gyuk, Energy Storage program manager in the DOE's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability.

It’s Only Common Sense: How AI Consumes the Electronics Supply Chain

09/21/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense
AI may live in the cloud, but there is nothing light or invisible about the infrastructure supporting it. Everything about it requires a staggering amount of physical hardware, from the PCB to the substrate, power supplies, and even engineering talent. AI is not merely changing software. It is eating the electronics supply chain.
