Honeycomb structures might be the key supercharging batteries
Material Scientists have developed a new material to extend the life of the batteries up to 100 times. The new material, developed by a team from the University of Missouri, works by uses a unique “honeycomb” lattice structure that has some distinctive electronic properties. The projects lead Deepak...

Lancaster Engineers have created new gesture control technology that can turn everyday objects, such as the humble cup of tea, into a remote control The team believes that the new technology, called Matchpoint, will allow you to do everything from changing the channel of your TV simply by...
Cambridge Engineers have created a transistor that functions for years without a battery
Engineers at the University of Cambridge have created a new design for transistors that can operate on ‘scavenged’ energy from their environment. This new technology might form the basis for devices which could function for months (or years) without needing a recharging. Future devices based on these ultra-low...
MIT device identifies power-hungry home appliances
Engineers at MIT have created a new device that can identify appliances in your home which are using too much power. In a paper published this week in the IEEE Sensors Journal, the team's described their the culmination of several years of research. Unlike existing approaches, the device...
