Scientists have discovered what they say is the fastest and most efficient semiconductor yet. Although the new material is made using one of the rarest elements on Earth, the researchers suggest counterparts made from more abundant materials may be discovered that operate comparably fast.Semiconductors underpin virtually all modern electronics. However,…

Blind and low-vision (BLV) people often use sound to navigate, such as via echolocation or within various assistive technologies. Scientists at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Aria Research, a company that makes bionic devices, decided to blend the two to develop a technique called “acoustic touch.” When used…

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

1 Νοεμβρίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Wearable devices, like nearly every other piece of tech, need energy. Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere. It’s in the sun’s rays and radio waves, the skin’s sweat and body heat, a person’s motion and their footfalls. And today, technology is maturing to the point…
