Easy Integration of Supercapacitor Power Back-up

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

One of the major trends over the last two decades is to replace mechanical systems with electronic systems wherever possible. Deploying an electronic system usually has the advantage of offering faster and more accurate responses, while being more reliable due to having no physical wear and te

UCLA Team Exceeds DOE-Set Targets for Fuel Cell Performance and Durability

As important as the internal combustion engine has been for societal progress, it is also a major contributor to pollution that damages human health and carbon emissions that help drive the climate crisis. Close to 30% of U.S. carbon emissions come from transportation, and 95% of transportation uses fossil fu

Floating 'Artificial Leaves' Ride the Wave of Clean Fuel Production

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

Researchers have developed floating ‘artificial leaves’ that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a large scale at sea. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, designed ultra-thin, flexible devices, which take their inspiration from photosynthesis – the p

A charge redistribution model shows how charge flows across the phase interfaces in a 2D piezoelectric material of molybdenum (blue) and tellurium (yellow). The red areas are electro-deficient, the green is electron rich.

Piezoelectric Effect Could Power Miniature Nanoscale Sensors

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

The piezoelectric effect is quite an unusual phenomenon that could become very important to the electronics industry in the next few years. The effect is achieved in applicable materials by applying mechanical stress to provide an electrical charge. The electric field is created because the mechanical stress

New Report: Hummer EV is Worse for the Environment than Chevy Malibu

Jason Lomberg, North American Editor, PSD

I guess turnabout is fair play…even when it comes to a 9,000-pound vehicular juggernaut. Back in 2007, a report from the Oregon-based CNW Market Research famously claimed that the Hummer — the poster child for gas guzzlers — was more energy efficient than the Toyota Prius hybrid. 15 years later, a n
