Power Systems: A Roadmap for System Stability

March 4, 2026

Circuits, power grid

Power systems worldwide are undergoing a fundamental transformation as they move toward climate neutrality. Renewable energy sources (RES) are rapidly becoming the dominant form of generation, while conventional power plants are phased out. At the same time, electrification is accelerating across sectors, such as transport, industry, and hydrogen production, with battery storage and distributed energy resources increasingly connected at the local grid level.

Superconducting Circuit Technology Developments

Circuits, Semiconductor, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security

Communication and information technology have long been supported by semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs), such as complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. One of the advantages of CMOS is its high density; the transistor size has become smaller year by year, following Moore's law. However, CMOS technology is approaching the limit of physical miniaturization and, in turn, the limit at which switching energy can be reduced through scaling.
