electronic devices

A team of researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a way to transmit and store electricity in electrical cables. Previously, only electrical cables have been able to transmit electricity and not store it.

Cornell University and Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers are looking for ways to reduce the size of electronic devices down to atomic dimensions. By studying exotic materials, the team was able to transform a transition metal oxide into an insulator, while reducing the thickness to less than one nanometer.

A team of researchers from Georgia Tech have developed a new thermal interface material that can conduct heat 20 times better than traditional polymer materials.  Through tests, the material has been found to operate reliably up to 200 degrees Celsius.
