   The Materials That Make Power Electronics Work

   Power electronics is driving major shifts like EV powertrains, AI data centers, and industrial electrification—but module performance and reliability also hinge on “behind-the-scenes” materials. Critical elements like die attach, encapsulants, and thermal interface materials can determine whether a power module withstands years of thermal cycling, high current, and harsh operating conditions. On PowerUP, you’ll be joined by Burcak Conley (Head of Application Engineering for North America & Europe at Henkel) to discuss what’s driving demand and how packaging materials are evolving to meet higher thermal and reliability needs. You’ll also explore where Henkel sees the biggest opportunities ahead in this space.

Understanding the Quickly Evolving AI Data Center Architecture

[…] I think we have challenges in both sides. Let's start probably from the one where we are more familiar, which is the white space. So density. And I think here we need to talk about NVIDIA necessarily because NVIDIA drives for sure the architecture of this hardware. And if we make an example, right? So they started Ruben. When they started Ruben in 2025, they also introduced the Kyber Rack, right? Which was a structure with four pucks, basically. And I think in a number of, let's say, NVL 288 GPUs. In the meantime, due to the challenges also of the power density, now we see that the new Kyber Rack It's designed in another way, only two books vertical. […]
