Scientists are turning trees into energy storage devices capable of powering everything from a smartwatch to a hybrid car. [ + ]

Australian researchers have developed a new material that can store digital information and be printed onto various surfaces. It could be used for memory cells in next-generation, large-scale printable electronics. [ + ]

Australian engineers have built a quantum logic gate in silicon for the first time, making calculations between two qubits of information possible — and thereby clearing the final hurdle to making silicon quantum computers a reality. [ + ]

A new finding could lead to the next generation of cheaper, more efficient electronic devices. [ + ]

A new organisation, Electronics Industry Development Adelaide (EIDA), has been established to focus specifically on the development, promotion and representation of the Adelaide electronics industry. [ + ]

Researchers have developed a faster and inexpensive method to produce disposable tattoo-like health monitoring patches. [ + ]

RMIT University researchers have developed artificial microflowers that self-assemble in water and mimic the natural blooming process, an important step for advances in frontier-edge electronics. [ + ]

The first optical rectenna, a device that combines the functions of an antenna and a rectifier diode, can convert light directly into direct current. [ + ]

Insitu Pacific, the Australia-based subsidiary of Insitu Inc., has announced its continued sponsorship for the 2015–2016 UAV Challenge. [ + ]

Imagine a 'smart pill' that can sense problems in your intestines and actively release the appropriate drugs. We have the biological understanding to create such a device, but we're still searching for electronic materials, like batteries and circuits, that pose no risk if they get stuck in our bodies.
