Harish Krishnamoorthy, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Houston, is leading a $2.5 million effort to develop compact electronic power systems.
Ames Laboratory scientists discovered evidence of the Rashba effect by using extremely strong and powerful bursts of light firing at trillions of cycles per second to switch on or synchronize a "beat" of quantum motion within a material sample; and a second burst of light to "listen" to the beats, triggering an ultrafast receiver to record images of the oscillating state of matter.
A graphic depiction of protein nanowires (green) harvested from microbe Geobacter (orange) facilitate the electronic memristor device (silver) to function with biological voltages, emulating the neuronal components (blue junctions) in a brain.
When supplying energy the method of its delivery is as important as its quantity. You probably won't manage to boil the water for your tea with a cigarette lighter. Here, PhD student Yirui Zhang illustrates this principle.

Illustration of stable initial PCE under the actual operating environment of PV devices with the deployment of KI.
A look inside the Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). This machine was used to grow nanowires with hexagonal silicon-germanium shells. The emission from this hexagonal-SiGe alloy showed to be very efficient and suitable to start producing an all-silicon laser.
A nanocomposite material (purple) conducts electrons released by exoelectrogenic bacteria (green) to generate electricity.

The University of Tokyo researchers develop a machine-learning algorithm for detecting atomically thin 2D materials, including graphene, from a microscope image in a fraction of a second--which may accelerate the industrial-scale production of next-generation electronics
A nanostructured polymer film modeled on the white beetle Cyphochilus insulanus produces a brilliant white coating.
