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.
UV Light May Illuminate Improvements For Next Generation Electronic Devices
Researchers from the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) in Japan have developed a method to make sure the connections between the two-dimensional layer of atoms and the semiconductors are as perfect as possible.
New Mechanism Allows Lower Energy Requirement for OLED Displays
Scientists from RIKEN and the University of California San Diego, in collaboration with international partners have found a way to significantly reduce the amount of energy required by organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).
