For decades, electronics hobbyists would make a quick jaunt to a Radio Shack or Fry’s Electronics to find parts for their DIY projects. With those brick-and-mortar chains gone, one would think that ...

As smart electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, they can generate a lot of heat, leading to slower processing times and sudden shutdowns. Now researchers use an electrospinning approach ...

The U.S. Air Force recently awarded a three-year/$750,000 research grant to the University of Virginia’s (UVA) ExSiTE Lab (Experiments and Simulations in Thermal Engineering) to evaluate the prospect ...

A team of scientists led by University of Virginia professor Patrick Hopkins is developing a plasma "freeze ray" that will be less interesting to super villains than to engineers looking for ways to ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Not only people need to stay cool, especially in a summer of record-breaking ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As electronics become smaller, faster and more powerful, managing the heat they generate is becoming increasingly challenging. Densely packed 3D electronics, made by stacking ...

Transparent transistors and circuits that could be used in a wide-range of applications from e-paper and flexible color screens for electronics gear to smart cards and “heads-up” displays in auto ...

The picture that pops up before our inner eye when we hear the word "satellite" is probably this: Two extended solar "wings" and a compact body wrapped in foil with a golden or silvery shimmer.

In a vacuum: Empa doctoral student Johanna Byloff prepares the samples on the coating machine of the Empa spin-off Swiss Cluster. The picture that pops up before our inner eye when we hear the word ...

As smart electronic devices become smaller and more powerful, they can generate a lot of heat, leading to slower processing times and sudden shutdowns. Now, in ACS Applied Nano Materials, researchers ...
