How do you power billions of sensors? By converting waste heat into electricity
Researchers at Osaka University are helping to power portable sensors that do not use batteries by generating electricity from heat that is otherwise wasted.
Using computational screens to identify 2D materials for battery anodes
Computational screens allow researchers to efficiently determine how different elemental combinations can alter material properties to quickly identify 2D materials for next generation battery anodes.
When function follows form: Semiconductors that behave like metals and superconductors
Researchers tune the properties of a known semiconducting material so that it behaves like a metal, with some superconducting behavior, for more efficient electronic devices.
A wearable electronic device designed for man’s best friend
A wireless acoustic sensor that can be worn over fur could be especially useful for monitoring the vital stats of working animals such as sniffer dogs.
On the implications of overlooking measurement effects in memristors
The importance of understanding the experimental process is ubiquitous in research. And while we have a huge range of techniques at our disposal, we should be aware of and properly consider their limitations, so that we may present reliable methods and conclusions to...
