Flexible, organic and biodegradable

As electronics become increasingly pervasive in our lives - from smart phones to wearable sensors - so too does the ever rising amount of electronic waste they create.

Pac-Man meets biotechnology

Scientists increasingly use miniscule robots to solve a range of problems, from cancer treatment to water purification.

Wearable sweat sensor can diagnose cystic fibrosis

A wristband-type wearable sweat sensor could transform diagnostics and drug evaluation for cystic fibrosis, diabetes and other diseases.

How some battery materials expand without cracking

When you charge a battery, or when you use it, it's not just electricity but also matter that moves around inside.

New approach may accelerate design of high-power batteries

Research promises to increase the performance of high-power electrical storage devices, such as car batteries.

Toyota uses artificial intelligence to hunt for new materials

$35 Million to Accelerate Materials Science Discovery. Projects will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to speed development of materials for next-generation energy.

C3Nano closes $15 million series D equity financing

C3Nano Inc announced that it has closed $15 million in equity financing.

Is reliable artificial intelligence possible?

In the quest for reliable artificial intelligence, a scientist argues that AI technology should be openly available.

So long stiffness: a stretchable plastic electrode

The brain is soft and electronics are stiff, which can make combining the two challenging, such as when neuroscientists implant electrodes to measure brain activity and perhaps deliver tiny jolts of electricity for pain relief or other purposes.

Low-cost battery for storing renewable energy

A battery made with urea, commonly found in fertilizers and mammal urine, could provide a low-cost way of storing energy produced through solar power or other forms of renewable energy for consumption during off hours.

Wearable sensors can tell when you are getting sick

New research shows that fitness monitors and other wearable biosensors can tell when an individual's heart rate, skin temperature and other measures are abnormal, suggesting possible illness.

World's smallest diamonds to make wires three atoms wide

Scientists have discovered a way to use diamondoids - the smallest possible bits of diamond - to assemble atoms into the thinnest possible electrical wires, just three atoms wide.

Taking a leap in bioinspired robotics

n the not so distant future, first responders to a disaster zone may include four-legged, dog-like robots that can bound through a fire or pick their way through a minefield, rising up on their hind legs to turn a hot door handle or punch through a wall.

Prototype chip just three atoms thick

Researchers have demonstrated how it might be possible to mass-produce atomically thin materials and electronics. Why would this be useful? Because such thin materials would be transparent and flexible as well, in ways that would enable electronic devices that wouldn't be possible to make with silicon.

A tiny squeeze gives a big boost in performance

A nanosize squeeze can significantly boost the performance of platinum catalysts that help generate energy in fuel cells, according to a new study.

Battery electric cars better choice for reducing emissions

Many communities would be better off investing in electric vehicles that run on batteries instead of hydrogen fuel cells, in part because the hydrogen infrastructure provides few additional energy benefits for the community besides clean transportation.

Triboelectric Nanogenerator For Self-Powered Flexible And Wearable Electronics

Stanford University, United States

Scientists create plasma-printed sensors to monitor astronaut health

The plasma jet can spray tiny semiconductor particles onto cheap, flexible surfaces, such as paper or cloth, and form wearable electronic circuits. Astronauts can use these sensors to track their health and also the environment.

Hybrid and electric systems R&D at the U.S.-DOE

This paper first presented at EVS29 Montreal Canada provides an overview of the Fiscal Years 2015-2016 Hybrid and Electric Systems research and development activities - with emphasis on its advanced electric drive research -funded by the Vehicles Technologies Office of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Extend life and improved performance of fuel cell electrodes

Researchers have developed a practical and physically-based way of treating the surface of materials called perovskite oxides, to make them more durable and improve their performance. These materials are promising candidates to serve as electrodes in energy-conversion devices such as fuel cells and electrolyzers.
