Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron precision directly into ...

A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power ...

From breath analysis to explosive detection, many applications require reliable electronic "noses." Unfortunately, current ...

Quantum computers may solve problems beyond supercomputers. A new test helps confirm quantum answers for errors.

Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how evolving standards and increasing demands for precision are reshaping the way the ...

The global solar boom has introduced a new urgency around asset durability, performance, and risk. As utility-scale solar ...

The NYU answer was to use a solution-phase ligand exchange (SPLE) technique to create the silver selenide sensors, the first ...

Tess Eidem and her team at the University of Colorado Boulder fill the lab’s air with tiny particles of cat dander, dust mites, mold, and pollen. These airborne allergens, released into a sealed ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have created an “optical sieve” capable of detecting minute nanoplastic particles. Functioning much like a test strip, this innovation is designed to provide ...

Metrology is a key component in every process of building an EV battery. For example, material roughness might affect the ...

Unlike conventional 2D semiconductors that cannot detect low-energy photons due to a wide band gap, the TCI structure allows ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
