Triboelectric Generator Captures Power from Friction

The triboelectric generator could supplement power produced by nanogenerators that use the piezoelectric effect to create current from the flexing of zinc…

Researchers develop new possibilities for solar power

Solar PVTs are normally made with crystal silicon cells which generate electricity, but little heat. Stephen Harrison and Joshua Pearce (Mechanical and…

Muscle-Like Action Allows Camera to Mimic Eye Movement

Key to the new control system is a piezoelectric cellular actuator that uses a novel biologically inspired technology that will allow a robot eye to move more…

World's fastest camera, created by UCLA engineers, used to detect rogue cancer cells

Circulating cancer tumor cells are a perfect example. Typically, there are only a handful of them among a billion healthy cells, yet they are precursors to…

Photonics: The smaller the better

Increasing the areal density at which electronic components can be integrated onto a computer chip has always been key to the revolution of technological…

Molecule Changes Magnetism and Conductance
