By suspending tiny metal nanoparticles in liquids, scientists are brewing up conductive ink-jet printer "inks" to print inexpensive, customizable circuit patterns.
A new concept in energy harvesting could capture energy currently wasted due to its characteristic low frequency and use it to power next-generation electronic devices.
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have created a bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper that can power disposable electronics.
A new, ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current has been produced by a cheap and simple method devised by an international team of nanomaterials researchers.
For the first time, an experiment has directly imaged electron orbits in a high-magnetic field, illuminating an unusual behavior in electrons and suggesting new ways of manipulating the charged particles.
Less than a micrometer thin, bendable and giving all the colors that a regular LED display does, new "electronic paper" still needs ten times less energy than a Kindle tablet.
Researchers have engineered a material that could lead to a new generation of computing devices, packing in more computing power while consuming a fraction of the energy that today's electronics require.
