A new floating droplet electricity generator is redefining how rain can be harvested as a clean power source by using water itself as both structural support and an electrode. This nature-integrated ...

Often associated with refreshing a sense of being renewed and a peaceful calmness, raindrops may soon become tiny engines of clean energy. Researchers at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and ...

Floating gate trimming of semiconductors, particularly linear analog circuits have matured to the point where the technology is used extensively in many manufacturing and final test processes.

The conventional droplet electricity generator (C-DEG) uses a metal bottom electrode and a rigid substrate, and is generally employed on land. In contrast, the new water-integrated floating droplet ...

Ocean waves represent an abundant source of renewable energy. But to best use this natural resource, wave-energy converters need to be capable of physically handling ocean waves of different strengths ...

This image shows the researchers' subcellular-sized devices, which are designed to gently wrap around different parts of neurons, such as axons and dendrites, without damaging the cells. The devices ...

Targeting automotive radar, among other applications, Texas Instruments (www.ti.com) has introduced a family of fixed-point digital signal controllers that are hardware- and software-compatible with ...
