EV batteries could last much longer thanks to new capacitor with 19-times higher energy density that scientists created by mistake
By Rory Bathgate published
Electric cars and laptop batteries could charge up much faster and last longer thanks to a new structure that can be used to make much better capacitors in the future.
Tiny, transparent chip could transform your smartphone into a professional-grade camera
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists built a "smart filter" that can work with a cheap smartphone camera to transform low-resolution photos into supersharp images without glare and other issues.
Ultrafast laser-powered 'magnetic RAM' is on the horizon after new discovery
By Drew Turney published
Researchers have found an elemental physical interaction between light and magnetism that might lead to the next generation of computing memory.
Tired of your laptop battery degrading? New 'pulse current' charging process could double its lifespan.
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Using pulse current charging, or a constant current divided with a few short breaks, lithium-ion batteries hold up better over hundreds of charging cycles and can last twice as long.

China develops new light-based chiplet that could power artificial general intelligence — where AI is smarter than humans
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
The creators of the Taichi chiplet claim it's more energy-efficient and scalable than other photonic components and can be used to train superhuman AI models in the future.
Waterproof e-gloves could one day help scuba divers communicate with the surface
By Sascha Pare published
Researchers have designed waterproof gloves equipped with sensors that can translate hand gestures into messages, which could help divers communicate better.
New diamond transistor is a world-1st — paving the way for high-speed computing at the highest temperatures
By Tim Danton published
Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions.
Light-powered computer chip can train AI much faster than components powered by electricity
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
New chip design uses photons rather than electrons to perform calculations, and scientists hope to integrate the technology into future graphics cards to train AI.
