Dear Friends,

Another issue with a couple of articles focusing on Wide Bandgap technolgy, which will give me enough topics to discuss in my next Expert Talk on July 26. This format has developed greatly, it is a nice way to keep the discussion going. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to bodospower.com/wbg, where you can find the recordings of the past editions together with plenty of other video content I have produced over the last years!

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com.
Do not miss our Chinese version bodospowerchina.com.
There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world.
As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Best Regards,

Bodo Arlt editor@bodospower.com
