Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have designed a way to harvest small amounts of waste energy and harness them to turn water into usable hydrogen fuel

A team of scientists at MIT have discovered a previously unknown phenomenon that can cause powerful waves of energy to shoot through minuscule wires known as carbon nanotubes. The discovery could lead to a new way of producing electricity

New research suggests that minute crystals from peas can be illuminated and used as small battery chargers or form the core of more efficient artificial solar cells

By dipping ordinary paper or fabric in a special ink infused with nanoparticles, Stanford engineer Yi Cui has found a way to cheaply and efficiently manufacture lightweight paper batteries and supercapacitors.

Device Could Lead to New Class of Diamond Nanomaterials Suitable for Quantum Cryptography, Quantum Computing, and Magnetic Field Imaging

Called "spintronics" devices of the future will depend on this technology to manipulate both the flow and magnetic "spin" of electrons.

In a just-published paper in the magazine Science, IBM researchers demonstrated a radio-frequency graphene transistor with the highest cut-off frequency achieved so far for any graphene device -- 100 billion cycles/second (100 GigaHertz).

NASA and General Motors are working together to accelerate development of the next generation of robots and related technologies for use in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Power-generating rubber films developed by Princeton University engineers could harness natural body movements such as breathing and walking to power pacemakers, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

Could hold the key to future high-speed electronics, such as micro-chips and touchscreen technology.
