Researchers from Michigan State University developed a transparent solar concentrator that produces solar energy when placed on any clear surface. These new solar concentrators have the flexibility to be scaled for commercial and industrial applications at an affordable cost.

Researchers from the University of Surrey and Trinity College Dublin have developed a new method to make low-cost body motion sensors using rubber bands. The rubber bands are treated with graphene to become electrically-conductive.

A team of University of Michigan researchers worked with a local road agency to investigate a security flaw in a wireless system of networked stoplights. These systems are used in over 40 states to improve traffic flow efficiency while reducing emissions and delays.
