Scientists led by a team from Fudan University in Shanghai have created a new flexible fiber chip as thin as a human hair. The development could usher in a new generation of even smarter wearables for a range of applications, ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Most electronics are built on flat, stiff boards, which makes it incredibly difficult to fit them onto curved and irregular shapes we find in the real world, such as human limbs or curved aircraft wings. While flexible electronics ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to identify semiconducting materials that could substitute for silicon and enable the further advancement of electronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
University of Chicago and Cornell University researchers analyzed wearable health care electronics and reported carbon impacts of 1.1–6.1 kg CO2-equivalent per device. With global device consumption projected to rise 42-fold ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Hydrogen, the lightest element on the periodic table, is a master of escaping almost any container it's stored in. Its extremely small size allows it to squeeze through atomic-scale gaps in the storage materials, which is ...
Engineering
Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have started working on electronic fibers. These are yarn-like components with electronic properties that can be weaved or assembled to create new innovative textile-based ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These materials are highly durable, ...
Engineering
A key objective of electronics engineers is to further reduce the size of devices, while also boosting their speed, performance and efficiency. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, single-layer and thin materials with a controllable ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are engineered structures comprised of several elements known as 'meta-atoms,' which can reshape and control electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces could contribute to ...
