University of Miami physicist develops battery using new source of energy
Researchers at the University of Miami and at the Universities of Tokyo and Tohoku, Japan, have been able to prove the existence of a "spin battery," a battery that is "charged" by applying a large magnetic field to nano-magnets in a device called a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ).   view more (2009-03-12)

Scientists demonstrate effect of confining dielectrics on semiconductor nanowire conductivity
Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), have demonstrated, for the first time, that the activation energy of impurities in semiconductor nanowires is affected by the surrounding dielectric and can be modified by the choice of the... view more...

Brown Engineers Build a Better Battery - With Plastic
Brown University engineers have created a new battery that uses plastic, not metal, to conduct electrical current. The hybrid device marries the power of a capacitor with the storage capacity of a battery.   view more (2006-09-14)

A First in Integrated Nanowire Sensor Circuitry
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have created the world's first all-integrated sensor circuit based on nanowire arrays, combining light sensors and electronics made of different crystalline materials. Their method can be used to reproduce numerous such... view more... (2008-08-05)

Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance

Printable batteries
In the past, it was necessary to race to the bank for every money transfer and every bank statement. Today, bank transactions can be easily carried out at home. Now where is that piece of paper again with the TAN numbers? In the future you can spare yourself the search for the number.   view more (2009-07-06)

Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage.   view more (2007-06-11)

Placing single nanowires: NIST makes the connection
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised a system for manipulating and precisely positioning individual nanowires on semiconductor wafers.   view more (2007-04-30)

Free smoke alarm programmes are failing
Providing and installing free smoke alarms to poor, urban households does not reduce fire related injuries and may be a waste of resources, find two studies in this week's BMJ. In the first study, smoke alarms were given out to 19,950 households in a deprived, multiethnic, urban community in inner London. Free installation was offered and... view more... (2002-10-30)

Lithium battery cathodes being made using novel sol-gel method
Lithium batteries increasingly permeate our lives in all manner of electrical devices. Researchers from Thailand report on a study that investigates the use of the sol-gel method to produce battery cathodes from a new material.   view more (2005-09-27)

New battery technology helps stimulate nerves
With the help of new silicon-based compounds, scientists - and patients - are getting a significant new charge out of the tiny lithium batteries used in implantable devices to help treat nervous system and other disorders.   view more (2005-10-05)

Plugging into an electric vehicle revolution
