Rice University’s laser-induced graphene nanogenerators could power future wearables.
Remaining Switched On To Silicon-Based Electronics
The difficulty of further increasing the power conversion efficiency of silicon-based components in power electronics seems to indicate that we are reaching the limits of potential advances to this technology. A research group headed by The University of Tokyo recently challenged that view by developing a power switching device that surpasses previous performance limits, illustrating that silicon technology can still be further optimized.
