Paper electronics is successful: where next?
Electronics and electrics on or in paper is being used for security, safety, crime prevention, brand enhancement and merchandising.16 Feb 2012
Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation
A Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart.15 Feb 2012
Liquid batteries could level the load
New results from an ongoing research program at MIT show a promising technology that could provide that long-sought way of leveling the load — at far lower cost and with greater longevity than previous methods.9 Feb 2012
Harnessing nature's solar cells
Within a few years, people in remote villages in the developing world may be able to make their own solar panels, at low cost, using otherwise worthless agricultural waste as their raw material.6 Feb 2012

Highways to wirelessly charge moving cars
A Stanford University research team has designed a high-efficiency charging system that uses magnetic fields to wirelessly transmit large electric currents between metal coils placed several feet apart. The long-term goal of the research is to develop an all-electric highway that wirelessly charges cars and trucks as they drive down the road.12 Jan 2012

Solar-thermoelectric systems could have advantages over solar cells
Systems to harness the sun's energy typically generate either electricity or heat in the form of steam or hot water. But a new analysis by researchers at MIT shows that there could be significant advantages to systems that produce both electricity and heat simultaneously.21 Oct 2011
Graphene shows unusual thermoelectric response to light
Graphene, an exotic form of carbon consisting of sheets a single atom thick, exhibits a novel reaction to light, MIT researchers have found: Sparked by light's energy, the material can produce electric current in unusual ways.14 Oct 2011
