More money is pouring into solar power than all other electricity sources combined, with investments set to reach half a trillion dollars this year, the world's top energy research body said Thursday. 

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast in a report that global investment in clean energy this year will hit $2 trillion, twice the amount going to fossil fuels.

It said combined investment in renewable power and grids overtook the amount spent on fossil fuels for the first time in 2023.

This industry relies on reliable, powerful, and efficient motor systems, which encompass both advanced motor technology and motor-driving integrated circuits.

ST: DC Motor Pre-Driver

STMicroelectronics recently released its L99H92 automotive DC motor gate driver.

n the not-too-distant future, most of the information people consume on the internet will be influenced by artificial intelligence, a Northeastern expert says.

And while it is impossible to slow the use of AI, it is crucial to understand AI’s limits — both what it cannot and should not do — and to adopt ethical norms for its development and deployment, says John Wihbey, an associate professor of media innovation and technology.

If not, democracy is in jeopardy, Wihbey says.
