Ultrathin Superconducting Film
Physicists have developed a thin nanomaterial with superconducting properties. Below -200°C these materials conduct electricity without loss, levitate magnets and can screen magnetic fields.
Creating Touchpads with a Spray
Researchers added low-cost touch sensing to objects of almost any shape.
A Multi-Functional Self-Healing Hydrogel
The new self-healing hydrogel can recover its functionalities after being cut, without external stimuli.
Triboelectric Generators using Microneedle-Structured Polydimethysiloxane
Researchers demonstrate a facile method and novel mechanism using microneedle-structured polydimethysiloxane for triboelectric (nano)generator (TEG/TENG) applications.
Solar Glasses: A Glimpse into the Bright Future of Wearable Electronics
In an important step forward for wearable electronics, researchers design and build a set of “solar glasses”, which integrate transparent solar cells into the lenses and electronics into the frames, to measure and display the instantaneous light intensity and ambient temperature.
Self-Learning Chip Composes Music
A brain-inspired, neuromorphic chip has the capability of self-learning and has been demonstrated the ability to compose music.
