One key objective of electronics engineering research is to develop computing devices that are both highly performing and energy-efficient, meaning that they can compute information quickly while consuming little power...

Different light spectra serve different needs for agrivoltaics. People are increasingly trying to grow both food and clean energy on the same land to help meet the challenges of climate change, drought and a growing global population that just topped 8 billion. This effort includes agrivoltaics, in which crops are grown under the shade of solar panels, ideally with less water.

Now scientists from the University of California, Davis, are investigating how to better harvest ...

Contactless manipulation method could be used in industries such as robotics and manufacturing,where devices wouldn’t need a built-in power source in order to move.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have discovered a new method to move objects using ultrasound waves. The study is published in Nature Communications, a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal.

While it’s bee...

Researchers report the synthesis of semiconductor ‘giant’ core-shell quantum dots with record-breaking emissive lifetimes. In addition, the lifetimes can be tuned by making a simple alteration to the material’s internal structure.

A new study involving researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago achieved a milestone in the synthesis of multifunctional photonic nanomaterials.

The group, which included collaborators from Pr...
