Wide-Bandgap Device Application
As SiC and GaN devices are increasingly being applied in power electronics, the excellent performance of these devices is required. Therefore, how to design the devices, how to drive them, and what other fields these devices can be applied in are attractive research issues.(2) This Special Issue aims to exhibit the research progress of the application of wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, including the novel structures of devices, new topology of circuits for the high performance of wide-bandgap devices, and integrated circuit application of wide-bandgap semiconductors.(3) In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are presented. Research areas are the following: high-efficiency SiC MOSFET-based DC/DC converters for EV applications, high-voltage SiC-based DC/DC converters for HVDC applications, SiC-based AC/DC for EV charging station applications, high-power density power converters based on GaN devices, integrated circuits based on SiC material for harsh environment applications, and integrated circuits based on GaN material for high-frequency applications.
The Crimes of Digital Capitalism
Winner, 2025 Outstanding Book Award, given by the Division of White-Collar and Corporate Crime of the American Society of Criminology How technology companies profit from our increasing dependence on digital infrastructure and the privatization of data The Crimes of Digital Capitalism proposes the first comprehensive theory of corporate crime for the digital age. Aitor Jim矇nez explores the criminal structure of digital capitalism fostered by states and corporations along the supply chain, illustrating how the rise of algorithmic racism, the Googlization of education, and the deployment of AI surveillance/killing technologies brutally impacts the lives of millions of people around the world. Under the label of digital capitalism, argues Jim矇nez, lives a system of exploitation that, standing on digital technologies, is pushing the neoliberal project into an entirely new dimension of practices and exploitative policies with its own set of socially harmful consequences. Digital capitalism has accelerated the neoliberal attack on labor rights, expanded previous forms of exploitation, and developed new ways of surveilling and controlling workers. Delving into the structural relation between capitalism and corporate crime in the digital age, The Crimes of Digital Capitalism argues that the massive social harms caused by large technology companies and states should not be seen as accidental by-products, but as criminal strategies necessary for the existence of digital capitalism. Linking the debates on the platform economy to today's most pressing social justice issues, this deeply interdisciplinary book connects complex ideas around digital capitalism to everyday problems.

Designing Electronics That Work
How real engineers build electronics--one working piece at a time. If you've ever had a board fail on power-up, spent hours debugging a layout that "should work," or run into a supplier problem just before a deadline--you already know this isn't just about theory. It's about judgment, decisions, and real-world constraints. Designing Electronics That Work is a guide to all the practical things you won't find in a typical electronics textbook. It's written for people who already know a little--maybe a lot--about circuits, but want to move faster, make fewer mistakes, and ship working hardware with more confidence. You'll learn how to: Define and prioritize requirements so you're building the right thing, not just the clever thing Design schematics and layouts to make debugging easier Plan for manufacturability, compliance, and cost from day one Build a lab that helps you work faster, without spending a fortune Troubleshoot problems methodically, even when nothing's making sense Hunter Scott has designed electronics for medical devices, RF systems, startups, and art installations. This book reflects what he's learned, not as theory, but as practice. You won't find chapter-length explanations of what a capacitor is. You will find answers to questions like: Which capacitor should I actually buy? What if the one I spec'd is out of stock? How do I avoid wasting time and money? Whether you're a hobbyist moving beyond Arduino, a new grad learning on the job, or an experienced engineer looking to streamline your process--this book will help you build smarter and avoid problems before they start.
