Super Efficient Nano-LED
For the exponentially growing data traffic worldwide, the data connections within and between microchips are increasingly becoming a bottleneck. Optical connections are an obvious successor, but that requires an adequate nano-sized light source – and this has now been found. Researchers...

Human Motion Powered Nanotechnology Devices
Michigan State University researchers have came up with a new method for harvesting energy from human motion using nanotechnology. They designed a low-cost film-like device, a nanogenerator, than can power a LCD display, keyboard, and some LEDs without any source of electric power, by...

These tiny batteries can be charged in seconds and last for a week
Battery anxiety is a modern day problem for many of us. Mobile phone and wearable technologies are getting developed rapidly, but battery issues seem to be neverending. As phones and wearables are getting thinner, there needs to be a trade-off between battery life and design. Scientists...

Nanotechnoloy – Nano coating prevents exploding Li-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are very popular as they're lightweight and have high energy density. But at the same time, li-ion batteries are very sensitive to overcharge/over discharge. An internal short circuit can cause fire and it may even lead to a violent explosion. Fortunately,...

A New Record for Single-molecule Diode
Diodes are one of the most common used electronic components in our designs used to direct the current flow. Single-molecule electronics is a “branch of nanotechnology that uses single molecules, or nanoscale collections of single molecules, as electronic components.” according to...

Solar Cells Made Obsolete – 3D rectennas aim at 40-to-90% efficiency
R. Colin Johnson @ eetimes.com: PORTLAND, Ore.--Now before you get all excited by the headline, which is not click-bait according to the researchers, a new kind of nanoscale rectenna (half antenna and half rectifier) can convert solar and infrared into electricity, plus be tuned to...
