For centuries, it has been known that chemicals can change neural behavior. The field of optogenetics proved that neural behavior can also be changed with mere…
Longer life times, larger ranges and faster recharging – developments such as electric mobility or the miniaturisation of electronics require new storage…
In industrial production, the throughput is only slightly lower than with soldering. The reliability of the adhesive connection was confirmed in tests carried…
Monitor screens and smartphones that can be rolled and folded up are applications that could become possible in the future thanks to the development of polymer…
Fast charging of electric cars requires a lot of energy in a short period of time. These peak loads lead to bottlenecks in the power grid, and are one of the…
Terahertz radiation was already a major topic a good ten years ago, in connection with body scanners for inspecting passengers during airport security…
When the pump pulse reaches the signal pulse, upon interaction, the signal pulse accel-erates, changes its frequency, respectively its color, and finally…
The device, called StimDust, short for stimulating neural dust, adds more sophisticated electronics to neural dust without sacrificing the technology's tiny…
Metamaterials researchers at Duke University have demonstrated the design and construction of a thin material that can control the redirection and reflection…
Fabian Schlaepfer and his colleagues in the experimental group of Ursula Keller at the ETH Institute for Quantum Electronics, together with Angel Rubio and…
Organic polymeric materials generally have low thermal conductivity and are not suitable for rapid heat dissipation of electric and electronic equipment in the…
Silicon solar cells dominate the global photovoltaic market today with a share of 90 percent. With ever new technological developments, research and industry…
Simply by analysing the electric current that flows through the coil, the team is able to determine where the bolt is and can adjust its position…
Fog harvesting may look like whimsical work.
Rapid contractions of the artificial muscles convey the material on the belt, either by projecting the material forward in a series of tiny bounces or sliding…
