79% of companies who have adopted wearable technology in business say that it is instrumental to their success. Digital Silk has ranked the most impactful wearable technology devices that have stimulated business growth across industries.

Research led by UCL has revealed new insights into the workings of a lithium battery by virtually "unrolling" its coil of electrode layers using an algorithm designed for papyrus scrolls. In a recent study, researchers combined X-ray and…

While nothing is perfect, even a one-in-200,000 breakdown of lithium-ion batteries can trigger huge recalls like the 2006 incident of six million Sony lithium-ion packs. Now, scientists are closer to understanding exactly what happens…

Exelon, Leviton, PanTech Design, Sprosty Network, and UtilityAPI executives explore new data services and consumer engagement strategies at Smart Energy Summit

An international team of scientists has developed a technology that permits a nanoscale molecular view of the self-assembling gateway of lithium-ion batteries. Published in Nature Nanotechnology, the work was performed by an international…

The advantages of using data harvesters to monitor various aspects of health are well known, and flexible harvesters that conform to the human body are highly desired for use with wearable technologies. Superior skin contact, ergonomic, and…

Graphene, the single-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms, is particularly promising for semiconductor manufacture that will permit electronic devices to continue to shrink while using less energy. Graphene’s structural defects enhance the…

Like all disruptive technologies, autonomous vehicles will have both positive and negative impacts on our lives and economies. Jobs in transportation, mining, and manufacturing industries that will be lost as a result of increased adoption…

The atomic reaction between gases and oxides is a key piece for many technological puzzles. It can lead to benefits such as better catalysts to enable cleaner energy technologies, or to problems like corrosion. Understanding those…

Oxford Nanopore Technologies developed the world's first and only nanopore DNA sequencer, the MinION and now we're seeing its capabilities unfold as related to the coronavirus. Rapid sequencing of the coronavirus has been one…

Because conventional magnetic sensor circuits are made of silicon-based hard electronic elements, integrated on a substrate, they can only be placed on flat surfaces. As hard as glass, they’re obviously not suitable for all potential sensor…

Researchers from Brown University have designed a new type of wing that could make small fixed-wing drones far more stable and efficient. The new wing replaces the smooth contour found on the leading edges of most airplane wings with a…

What if solar cells worked at night? That's no joke, according to Jeremy Munday, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis. In fact, a specially designed photovoltaic cell could generate up to 50…

For over 30 years, leading cave divers have attempted to further explore the full extent of the world's largest subterranean lake at Dragon's Breath Cave, gigantic water-filled cavern beneath the Kalahari Desert, but have been repeatedly…

A 1,9000-sq.-ft., three-bedroom home, 3D-printed in just 48 hours of print time, using less than $6,000 in materials? Yes, you heard it correctly. 3D printing is revolutionizing the way buildings are constructed and now, a company…
