NASA, with an eye to future missions, is looking to create robotic missions and components that can survive inside Venus’ atmosphere for prolonged periods of time.
Researchers at Stanford University are developing a linear accelerator that is the size of a chip — instead of two miles long — and it could herald a medical breakthrough.
New 'potato stamp' technique combining silver and graphene may create cheaper, more flexible and eco-friendly screens.
Researchers have discovered a simple technique to make atomically thin flakes of material. The breakthrough, published in Science, is expected to lead to faster, more energy efficient electronics.
An Australian-US team has devised a way to make a broad class of atomically thin metal oxides, including 2D versions of materials already in use by the electronics industry. Their secret is a room temperature liquid metal.
Electronic devices that are completely broken down in a biological environment after a pre-defined operating life open up novel applications as well as ways for reducing their ecological footprint.
A team of researchers from US has reported a breakthrough in stretchable electronics that can serve as an artificial skin.
The work holds promise for eco-friendly disposable personal electronics and biomedical devices that dissolve within the body.
A potential new state of matter is being reported with research showing that among superconducting materials in high magnetic fields, the phenomenon of electronic symmetry breaking is common.
Factories would only have to adapt to the new electrodes, rather than throwing out their existing battery know-how.
A new electrochemical energy harvesting device can generate electrical current from the full range of human motions and is thin enough to embed in clothing.
Engineers have designed the first battery-free cellphone that can send and receive calls using only a few microwatts of power, which it harvests from ambient radio signals or light.
EPFL researchers have found a way around what was considered a fundamental limitation of physics for over 100 years.
A research team has developed the first switch that turns on and off a quantum behavior called the Berry phase. The discovery may lead to new quantum electronic devices.
The biological supercapacitor is a protein-based battery-like device capable of extracting energy from the human body.
