Breakthrough flexible solar panels are so thin they can be printed on any surface – even backpacks
A coating that's just 1 micron thick can be applied to almost any surface
Forward-looking: Oxford University researchers have developed a flexible perovskite material about 100 times thinner than a human hair that can generate solar electricity just as efficiently as traditional silicon panels. Unlike those rigid, single-purpose slabs, this material can coat just about any surface, such as cars, clothing, buildings, and even mobile devices.
MIT scientists develop transistor with nanosecond switching and billion-cycle durability
The researchers say it "could change the world"
In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped themselves by using that substance to build a transistor that utterly smokes the conventional chips powering today's gadgets – with nanosecond switching speeds and incredible durability.
