Texas A&M University researchers found a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes versus lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The team says that metal-free batteries are better for…

Physicians monitor the brain's electrical signals via an EEG and specialized electrodes implanted into, or placed on, the surface of the head. Scientists can incorporate EEGs into “brain-machine interfaces,” that use brain waves to control…

Streaming and studying organic tissue are miles apart, but a new method of study brings them closer together than you might think possible. A groundbreaking technique developed by researchers affiliated with the USC Michelson Center for…

Network Assured just shared the results of a recent study that looked at which U.S. states have the highest number of identity theft per capita in the last 5 years. The study considered ID theft reports, losses incurred, and data breaches,…

Bees are fascinating. EPFL researchers just developed a temperature-modulating robotic system for seamless integration into honeybee hives for a never-before-seen view of honeybee behavior and a way to influence it. It's challenging to…

A research team at the Department of Joining Technology of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) developed a foundational technology to control the volume of molten metal in the process of 3D printing metal using welding. They…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) expanded its family of footprint-compatible ePower Stage ICs to boost power density and simplify design for power requirements in DC-DC apps, motor drives, and class-d audio amplifiers. The company…

Refractive lenses have been around forever—800 years, in fact. The basic architecture of lenses, however, may be changing. Metamaterials could revolutionize lensing systems. Conventional lenses rely on refraction at interfaces to focus…

Hyundai Mobis is putting an electric motor inside a vehicle’s wheels, enhancing power efficiency by reducing components and providing independent control of all four wheels. The company calls the in-wheel system the future of mobility…

Power Integrations, the world leader in high-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) for energy-efficient power conversion, has announced a new line of gallium-nitride (GaN) InnoSwitch3™ flyback switcher ICs for industrial and automotive…
