Researchers have created a nanogenerator that enables wooden flooring to generate energy from our footfalls — enough to power LED lightbulbs and small electronics. [ + ]

Scientists have developed a soft and stretchable battery, measuring 2 x 2 cm and as flat as a small paper bandage, that is powered by human perspiration. [ + ]

Researchers have developed a system to safely deliver electricity over the air, potentially turning entire buildings into wireless charging zones. [ + ]

Before twisted-pair cables became a permanent feature of industrial halls, connections based on D-sub connectors were predominant. [ + ]

Unlike hard-wired standard circuits, the molecular device can be reconfigured using voltage to embed different computational tasks. [ + ]

Skin electronics require stretchable conductors that satisfy a range of characteristics, but it is challenging to achieve these simultaneously. [ + ]

Analog measurement allows you to track the deviation as we move from a good/pass state to a bad/failure state. [ + ]

Switching without touching means not contaminating the surface with potentially harmful germs, viruses or bacteria. How do these switches work and what are they capable of? [ + ]

'Growing' electronic components directly onto a semiconductor block avoids messy, noisy oxidation scattering that slows and impedes electronic operation. [ + ]

Korean researchers have developed a solution to prevent the initial loss of lithium ions in supposedly fully charged batteries. [ + ]

Researchers have created a new software model verification technique that permits the early detection of errors at any point during the modelling process. [ + ]

US and Chinese scientists have found a way to improve the longevity of silver nanowires to enhance their capabilities in electronic devices. [ + ]

Researchers improved the conventional process, thanks to a new method in which high-performance silicon is printed directly onto flexible materials. [ + ]

Scientists have developed a 3D functional interposer containing an embedded capacitor — a compact design that saves a lot of package area. [ + ]

Inspired by a membrane inside bamboo, researchers are developing more efficient electrodes for batteries that could allow them to be recharged at a much faster rate. [ + ]
