To produce printed electronics, organic or metal-containing inks are applied on plastic foils, paper or glass.
The team, led by scientists and engineers at the University of California, San Diego and General Atomics, developed a new technique to “see” where energy is…
The use of cables and servers in computer centers increases the risk of fire, with such equipment accounting for around six percent of all infrastructure…
At extremely low temperatures, an electric current flows around the edge of the film without energy loss, and under no external magnetic field. This attractive…
The coating is a specially engraved, nanostructured thin film that allows more light through than a flat surface, yet also provides electrical access to the…
Can you imagine a future where your car is fueled by iron powder instead of gasoline?
The high energy density Li-ion battery is already being used as power sources in applications such as portable devices (smartphones and tablets), electric…
