Future Innovations

The world’s first automatic and adaptive, dual-mode light-emitting diode (LED)-based optical wireless power transmission system, that operates seamlessly under both dark and bright lighting conditions, has been developed by scientists at Science Tokyo. The system, […]

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is normally a one-way street. In a digital light processing (DLP) printer, a structured pattern is projected onto a layer of liquid resin, which cures and solidifies. This builds an […]

Hole-selective self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are ultrathin organic films that play a crucial role in modern optoelectronic devices, particularly in perovskite and silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells. However, their inherent instability often compromises operational performance of the […]

An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has developed an innovative method for producing green hydrogen directly from seawater—without the use of additional reagents. The researchers report their findings in the Journal […]

The formula powering aqueous zinc-iodine batteries has been brought under the microscope, with researchers from the University of Adelaide finding a way to enhance their performance.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated single-shot tensor computing at the speed of light, a remarkable step towards next-generation artificial general intelligence hardware powered by optical computation rather than electronics.This post was originally published on […]

In the 1980s when micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) were first created, computer engineers were excited by the idea that these new devices that combine electrical and mechanical components at the microscale could be used to build […]

Near-infrared (NIR) photon detection and object recognition are crucial technologies for all-weather target identification. Conventional NIR detection systems that rely on photodetectors and von Neumann computing algorithms are energy inefficient. Artificial sensory neurons based on […]

Robots aren’t always the most delicate of machines when handling fragile objects. They don’t have the lightness of touch of humans. But that could be about to change thanks to a new development in smart […]

A new type of “ink” makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. Researchers from the universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have succeeded in making so-called redox polymers useful […]
