Electronics

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years.

Next generation of computer chips could ditch silicon for TMD — a 2D material that is embedded with 'defects' which can be harnessed to improve performance.

Scientists harness a compound normally used in cancer treatment to reclaim rare-earth elements from electronic waste.

Scientists observed record-breaking electron mobility — seven times higher than in conventional semiconductors — with a material made from the same elements as quartz and gold.

Researchers have developed an imaging chip for mobile devices that uses high-frequency radio waves to ‘see’ through objects.

Using a more efficient method than current approaches, researchers promise the coldest temperatures in the world at just a fraction of the cost and time.

Electric cars and laptop batteries could charge up much faster and last longer thanks to a new structure that can be used to make much better capacitors in the future.

Scientists built a "smart filter" that can work with a cheap smartphone camera to transform low-resolution photos into supersharp images without glare and other issues.

Researchers have found an elemental physical interaction between light and magnetism that might lead to the next generation of computing memory.

Using pulse current charging, or a constant current divided with a few short breaks, lithium-ion batteries hold up better over hundreds of charging cycles and can last twice as long.
