A new way of making large sheets of high-quality, atomically thin graphene could lead to ultra-lightweight, flexible solar cells, and to new classes of light-emitting devices and other thin-film electronics. The new…
New electronic material for wearables and soft robots
Stretchable optoelectronic materials are essential for applications in wearable electronics, human–machine interfaces and soft robots. However, intrinsically stretchable optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting capacitors usually require high driving alternating voltages and excitation…
3D Hologram generation without GPU, for next-gen AR devices
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new way of calculating simple holograms for heads-up displays (HUDs) and near-eye displays (NEDs). The method is up to 56 times faster than conventional…
Using the ‘shadow-effect’ to generate electricity
Shadows are often associated with darkness and uncertainty. Now, researchers from National University of Singapore (NUS) are giving shadows a positive spin by demonstrating a way to harness this common but often…
Can’t concentrate at work? This AI system knows why
Computer scientists have developed a way to measure staff comfort and concentration in flexible working spaces using artificial intelligence. While hot desking and activity-based working allow cost savings and greater flexibility –…
