Liquid-like materials may pave way for new thermoelectric devices

In the continual quest for better thermoelectric materials -- which convert heat into electricity and vice versa -- researchers have identified a liquid-like compound whose properties give it the potential to be even more efficient than traditional thermoelectrics.

Groundbreaking, waterless approach to microchip making

The tiny, high-speed computer chips found in every modern electronic device bear little resemblance to their bulky, slow ancestors of decades ago. Different materials, new designs and new production techniques have ensured successive generations of integrated circuits offer ever more performance at lower cost.

Better organic electronics: researchers show the way forward for improving organic and molecular electronic devices

Scientists have provided the first experimental determination of the pathways by which electrical charge is transported from molecule-to-molecule in an organic thin film. These results also show how such organic films can be chemically modified to improve conductance for superior organic electronics.

Scientists develop tools to make more complex biological machines from yeast

Scientists are one step closer to making more complex microscopic biological machines, following improvements in the way that they can

Live cells 'printed' using standard inkjet printer

Researchers have found a way to create temporary holes in the membranes of live cells using a standard inkjet printer. Creating temporary pores allow researchers to put molecules inside of cells that wouldn
