MIT researchers have developed a new material that is two-dimensional to create devices that have the ability to harness or emit light. The material, called tungsten diselenide (WSe2), could produce ultrathin, lightweight and flexible optoelectronic devices.

A team of electrical engineers from the University of Utah have developed microscopic assemblies that use light to transmit information and were produced using an inexpensive inkjet printer.

A team of physicists at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) are proposing a device that would capture and harvest energy from the Earth’s infrared emissions to outer space. The device would be similar to a photovoltaic solar panel, but would generate electric power by releasing infrared light instead of capturing visible light.

Global Industry Analysts (GIA) Inc. has released a comprehensive report on the global EMI and RF shielding materials and technologies markets. The report states the forecast of this market will reach $7.9 billion by 2020.

Twin-Star has issued a recall for over 31,000 Duraflame-branded electric space heaters due to the possibility the heater can overheat, causing the heaters to melt and catch fire. There have been 32 reports received of heaters melting and burning and 8 reports of the heaters catching fire.

The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) has introduced a new program to incite small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to collaborate with the agency. A*STAR will grant royalty-free and exclusive intellectual property (IP) licenses for the first 18 months of the program.
