We talk a lot about downsizing. It is, and always will be on the top priority list of the world of electronics. Without smaller sizes, we would never have gotten to this state, where our projects can be housed in a small PCB and ran on an ATTiny mcu. It is one of the most fascinating...

Conductive materials change their properties under strain or stretching. The electrical conductivity decreases and resistance increases with stretching. The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is working with liquid metal systems that can autonomously change the structure to become...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a chronic disease that affects the nervous system and causes a decline in muscle control. Symptoms of ALS may be minor in the early stages of the disease but get dramatically worse with time as people with ALS find it more and more difficult to...

STMicroelectronics is to manufacture cartridges for a multi-sample lab-on-a-chip test system developed by Alifax in Italy. By Nick Flaherty @ eenewseurope.com The move extends ST's manufacturing from packaging the microfluidics lab-on-a-chip device to making the whole cartridge,...

Researchers at Samsung in Korea and Stanford University in the US have developed and patented a new architecture for OLED displays with resolution up to 10,000 pixels per inch (PPI). by Nick Flaherty @ eenewsembedded.com The design uses adapted an electrode ultra-thin solar panels...

A group of scientists at Columbia University and the University of Washington has found unique electronic states along with an uncommon kind of magnetism, can develop in a three-layer graphene structure. The work was inspired by current research studies of twisted monolayers or twisted...

Harvesting useful energy from municipal waste or our daily garbage is common around the world. In some developed countries, only 1 percent of household waste is dumped to landfills, while the remaining garbage is either recycled or incinerated in power plants to generate electricity. Junk...

Green energy startup NDB, which is developing a high-power self-charging diamond-based alpha, beta, and neutron voltaic battery that it claims provides up to thousands of years of charge, has announced the completion of two successful Proofs of Concept tests of its nano diamond battery...
