Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

A team of nuclear fusion researchers is trying to bring order to electron movement inside reactors. It's not an easy task, as ...

It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world's largest energy consumers. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a device that enables external magnetic field control of magnetic injection current in the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a phenomenon not yet used in commercial ...

Rechargeable batteries are everywhere—from portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage.

Researchers used ultrathin van der Waals materials to create an electron magnet that can be switched at room temperature. This type of magnet could be used to build magnetic processors or memories ...

This energy management interface is the "brain" of a self-powered, battery-free sensor that can harvest the energy it needs to operate from the magnetic field generated in the open air around a wire.

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

Energy harvesting from power lines and magnetic fields has emerged as a promising avenue to complement conventional energy systems. This approach leverages ambient electromagnetic fields generated by ...

Technical success can be initiated by a dramatic breakthrough or innovation, but it can also be the result of conscientious design with careful attention to execution details. We rely on both for ...

Because it requires no battery that must be recharged or replaced, and because it requires no special wiring, such a sensor could be embedded in a hard-to-reach place, like inside the inner workings ...
