The Future of Wearable Tech: How Wireless Power is Redefining Convenience and Innovation

  Introduction Imagine a world where your smartwatch never runs out of battery and your  fitness tracker charges  itself while you travelling, and augmented reality glasses function endlessly without using cables. This is the future of wearable technology, powered by wireless energy. As the demand for smart wearables grows, wireless power is set to  future of wearable technology  the industry by  wireless power wearable devices , improving usability, and enhancing new innovations. Understanding Wireless Power   for wearables Wireless power transfer for wearables  refers to the transmission of electricity without the need for direct physical wired connections. This technology enables wearables to remain powered without frequent charging interruptions.

Caveats of Meeting The Power Supply Needs of AI Datacenters

 T he shift towards the use of Wide Band Gap Semiconductors, higher power densities, and higher efficiency is rather driven by the cumulative but diverse demands of various applications of power supplies, but the recent boom of AI is steamrolling the technological attention of the industry towards itself. The magnitude of the scenario is a bit difficult to fathom. But just take a look at some data by the International Energy Agency– datacenter electricity consumption worldwide is expected to be over 1,000 TWh by 2026, with AI-related workloads contributing a major portion of that growth. In the US alone, data centers can account for as much as 8% of the country’s electricity by 2030, driven predominantly by the spread of generative AI. Furthermore, training large AI models can require as much as 1,200 megawatt-hours (MWh) per training cycle, a figure that continues to rise with each generational leap in AI capability.

Where Do The Brick Power Supplies Stand in The Market?

  Under WAWT’s Power Supply Intelligence Service, we are pleased to provide a focused briefing on Brick Power Supplies—one of the most critical and fast-evolving segments within the DC-DC converter landscape. What are Brick Power Supplies? Brick power modules have become indispensable across various industries, including telecommunications, data centers, industrial automation, electric vehicles, medical systems, and aerospace. Under our research, we classify the DC-DC power converter market into three major product types: Bricks, Point-of-load (PoL), and ‘Others’. We define Bricks as DC-DC converters that can be mounted externally or directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB). The term “brick” originates from the module’s rectangular, brick-like shape, constructed as switched-mode power supplies, comprising components such as switching transistors, controllers, and energy storage devices.  To read more :  https://wawt.tech/2025/04/28/where-do-the-brick-power-supplies-sta...

Wirelessly Charging Medical Implants: How Feasible Is It?

  Wireless charging of medical implants has been one of the most promising frontiers in biomedical engineering and power electronics. Pacemakers, neurostimulators, insulin pumps, and cochlear implants are just a few examples of the sophisticated medical devices available today. Powering them for lengthy periods and finding non-disruptive processes for battery replacement is leading the industry to look towards engineering   wireless power transfer (WPT) systems  into these medical implants. The insight presents the prevailing situation, technological trends, market trends, and ongoing challenges that the stakeholders and observers need to recognise. The Potential of Wireless Charging for Implants The greatest benefit of wireless charging for medical implants is that it gets rid of the need for the surgical battery replacement process, lowering the risk of infection and total healthcare expenditures. Wireless power also allows for reduced size and continuous or more interm...

GaN Is Strategically Emerging in Power Supply Systems

The power supply industry, traditionally defined by incremental innovation and cost-driven innovation, is moving into an efficiency-driven era. Wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductors are central to this era because they allow for much higher switching frequencies, reduced energy losses, and smaller system sizes—opening up performance levels that conventional silicon-based devices cannot economically or technically provide anymore. Gallium Nitride (GaN)—a wide bandgap semiconductor material providing compelling performance benefits compared to legacy silicon components. As it gains acceptance across use cases ranging from data centers, electric mobility to telecommunication and consumer electronics, GaN is fast becoming a base technology for the next generation of power systems. This insight assesses the consequences of GaN’s coming of age from a market research viewpoint, based on its performance attributes related to its industry momentum and appeal to stakeholders along semiconductor and...

WAWT’s Debrief On APEC 2025

  The 40th Annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC 2025) convened from March 16 to 20, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This milestone event celebrated four decades of advancements in power electronics, with around 5,500 attendees and more than 325 exhibitors. The conference program was the most extensive in APEC’s history, featuring 750 technical presentations and 18 professional education seminars. It featured Professional Education Seminars, peer-reviewed Technical Sessions, and industry-led presentations (Industry Sessios). The Plenary and Debate Sessions provided extensive insights into emerging trends and sparked engaging discussions on key topics. With the 40th anniversary of  APEC  and  PSMA , we saw an extra flair in the students’ job fair as we also conducted an extended students’ mentorship program. The response was extraordinary, and the student community (aspiring engineers) loved it. To read m...
