By using a plasma created by high voltage moving across a wing’s surface, researchers devised and tested a technique for deicing aircraft wings that doesn’t rely on diverted engine...
A new cathode implementation for lithium-sulfur batteries uses a hybrid of materials and fabrication techniques, greatly improving weight and energy density specifications versus...
Now becoming available for large wind-turbine systems are less expensive, lightweight, and higher-performing alternatives to the low-speed, rare-earth permanent-magnet direct-...
Researchers developed a friction-based transducer comprised of liquid metal and a polymer-layer sandwich that can harvest energy of low-frequency motion, such as from a body.
When infused with a suitable electrolyte, chemically processed wood can function as an energy-harvesting transducer using low-grade (low temperature) heat as the energy source...
Paul Rako had the opportunity to tour Kansas State University’s “TRIGA” nuclear reactor, which serves an educational facility for students and researchers alike.
The industry needs a robust qualification strategy that allows manufacturers to demonstrate their devices can provide a high level of reliability. Infineon came up with a four...
Researchers combined conductive threads with a polymer film to create a flexible mesh of electrodes on a textile backing that functions as a supercapacitor.
