Electronics

Wasted radio signals can be converted into electricity using a new kind of antenna rooted in how electrons behave at a quantum level.

Cheap and flexible perovskite solar cells could revolutionize solar power, making it easier than ever to power the world with sunlight.

The "xMEMS XMC-2400 µCooling" chip aims to keep future smartphones from overheating as they become more powerful.

The new device, called a magnetic tunnel junction, can be harnessed to pack more computing power onto a chip than was previously thought possible.

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years.

Next generation of computer chips could ditch silicon for TMD — a 2D material that is embedded with 'defects' which can be harnessed to improve performance.

Scientists harness a compound normally used in cancer treatment to reclaim rare-earth elements from electronic waste.

Scientists observed record-breaking electron mobility — seven times higher than in conventional semiconductors — with a material made from the same elements as quartz and gold.

Researchers have developed an imaging chip for mobile devices that uses high-frequency radio waves to ‘see’ through objects.

Using a more efficient method than current approaches, researchers promise the coldest temperatures in the world at just a fraction of the cost and time.
