Are wearables the answer for an ageing population?
The growth in wearable devices and the ageing population may seem like two disconnected trends, but what if they were connected? [ + ]
Quantum dot LEDs achieve record luminous efficiency
Koç University's white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) exhibit a luminous efficiency of 105 lumens per watt (lm/W) — better than any other quantum dot-based white LEDs. [ + ]
Molecular electronics on the horizon
We may not be able to cram any more processing power into silicon-based computer chips, but we can make electronic devices 10 times smaller and use molecules to build electronic circuits instead. [ + ]
Heat-conducting crystals could help computer chips stay cool
Crystals made of boron arsenide have excellent thermal properties that can effectively dissipate the heat generated in electronic devices. [ + ]
From preventive to predictive maintenance
Every machine with moving parts suffers some wear and tear and will inevitably need to be serviced or have some parts replaced. The question is, when is the best time to do this? [ + ]
In-mould electronics become commercial once again
Conductive inks are a wonderfully adaptive technology, enabling them to stay relevant and to rejuvenate themselves over the past several decades. [ + ]
Graphene-infused concrete can conduct electricity
Advanced materials company Talga Resources has achieved high levels of electrical conductivity in concrete. [ + ]
