Produces twice as much light as a normal LED -- including the white light desired for home and office lighting.

For the first time, MIT researchers have shown they can genetically engineer viruses to build both the positively and negatively charged ends of a lithium-ion battery.

Physicists in Sweden have now developed a new and simple method for producing cheap electronic components.

Researchers have developed new systems for storing electrical energy derived from alternative sources that are, in some cases, 10 times more efficient than what is commercially available.

MIT engineers have created a kind of beltway that allows for the rapid transit of electrical energy through a well-known battery material.

Tiny light-emitting diodes with optical microsystems that can produce all the colors of the rainbow, a new method for producing printed circuit boards – Fraunhofer researchers are showing innovative developments at the nano tech 2009 exhibition in Japan.

A team of MIT undergraduate students has invented a shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road, generating electricity while it smoothes the ride more effectively than conventional shocks.

New materials for NASCAR promise to save lives and reduce injuries in automobile racing — a popular sport with a fan-base of 75 million — and everyday driving.

A new way of making LEDs could see household lighting bills reduced by up to 75% within five years.
