We all must have witnessed and used a cylindrical device called the rheostat while performing experiments in the Physics lab. But we never really delved into its technicalities. A rheostat is a...

As we are moving towards smart, connected, and autonomous mobility, the interaction between the vehicle and the human has also evolved. The HMI solutions of today not only enhance the in-vehicle...

Researchers demonstrated record efficiency in flexible solar cells. Flexible solar cells is a research level technology that has been around for a while. Flexible and lightweight solar modules made of ultra-thin solar...

Researchers suggest that bandgap engineering can improve the optical properties of optoelectronic devices. Semiconductors are the material of choice in electronic devices as they provide control to their electrical properties. This is...

A researcher at ETH Zurich is working to develop a new manufacturing process for solid-state batteries.  High performance cost-effective batteries are the key to e-mobility adoption. ETH Pioneer Fellow Paul Baade is...

Researchers developed a novel hardware that can solve combinatorial optimization problems such as the Ising Hamiltonian model more efficiently than existing devices. Combinatorial optimization problems are a class of hard computational problems,...

Researchers upgraded the stability over multiple cycles of zinc-ion batteries, which promise to be cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly than lithium-ion batteries.  Zinc-ion batteries are gaining popularity due to their safety,...

Researchers at George Washington University have developed an all-optical analog accelerator to solve partial differential equations. Power-intensive computational tasks are highly complex and therefore require a significant amount of energy. This is...

Researchers have created a tiny camera that allows them to observe chemical reactions in real time. Nature controls the assembly of complex architectures through self-limiting processes; however, few artificial strategies to mimic...

Researchers are developing small air quality sensors that will allow people to detect active viruses in any environment. Due to the focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers across the globe are trying...
