Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

The energy footprint of computing is a major sustainability issue. Pedram Khalili, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Mark Hersam, Walter P. Murphy Professor and Chair of ...

Energy harvesting from power lines and magnetic fields has emerged as a promising avenue to complement conventional energy systems. This approach leverages ambient electromagnetic fields generated by ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

This illustration shows electric current being pumped into platinum (the bottom slab), which results in the creation of an electron spin current that switches the magnetic state of the 2D ferromagnet ...

This energy management interface is the "brain" of a self-powered, battery-free sensor that can harvest the energy it needs to operate from the magnetic field generated in the open air around a wire.

Researchers used ultrathin van der Waals materials to create an electron magnet that can be switched at room temperature. This type of magnet could be used to build magnetic processors or memories ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a device that enables external magnetic field control of magnetic injection current in the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a phenomenon not yet used in commercial ...

Because it requires no battery that must be recharged or replaced, and because it requires no special wiring, such a sensor could be embedded in a hard-to-reach place, like inside the inner workings ...
