Nitinol devices will become smarter and more durable as better alloying and processing extend fatigue life and reduce ...

A team developed a new method for synthesizing a novel crystalline form of silicon with a hexagonal structure that could potentially be used to create next-generation electronic and energy devices ...

Biocompatible conductive materials are used to safely and effectively integrate electronics with the human body. The current ...

Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup MC10‘s conformable electronics allow for stretchable and bendable new form factors for medical devices. In August, the company closed a nearly $15 million series ...

The energy density of supercapacitors -- battery-like devices that can charge in seconds or a few minutes -- can be improved by increasing the 'messiness' of their internal structure. Researchers used ...

They named an entire region in California in its honor, as silicon is indeed one of the most valuable chemical elements of our times. We use it for transistors, computer chips, solar cells, engine ...

A research team at Pusan National University has developed a polymer composite material that can dramatically reduce the heat generated by electronic ...

As electronic devices become increasingly powerful and compact, they can generate denser heat fluxes, or in other words, produce more heat in a smaller area. These heat fluxes raise the temperature of ...
