Pressure Sensor of the Future, Today
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pressure-sensor-future-today/
Pressure sensors are used today in many fields, such as automotive industry, touch screen devices, aviation and biomedical instrumentation, many of these applications require precise and accurate measures. Many times, this can not be achieved because of the limitations of the sensors such as the inability to measure on round surfaces (if they are twisted […]
A New Material For Unbreakable Smart Devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/new-material-unbreakable-smart-devices/
Most of smartphones parts are made of silicons and other compounds, which are expensive and easily-breakable. This problem is making all of smart devices manufacturers looking for stronger and cheaper solutions. By combining a set of materials, a group of researchers have successfully discovered a new material which could finally finish the disaster of cracked smartphone […]
Supercapacitors Surpassing Conventional Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/supercapacitors-surpassing-conventional-batteries/
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have been looking for alternatives for lithium rechargeable batteries which are largely used in every device. Using two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) capacitive materials, they are building a new supercapacitor that overcomes the performance of conventional lithium battery and replaces its efficiently. Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMDs) are […]
A Laser Treatment To Improve Paper Electronics

“NanoEngineers” research group at Iowa University have been devoting efforts to use graphene and its amazing properties in their sensors and other technologies. Graphene has many extraordinary properties. It is about 100 times stronger than the strongest steel. It conducts heat and electricity efficiently and is nearly transparent. Inspired by some recent projects about using inkjet […]

U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has developed a way to assemble transistors based on the 2D materials graphene and molybdenum disulfide. By Peter Clarke @ edn-europe.com The method etches narrow channels in conducting graphene laid down on a silicon-dioxide substrate. These channels are then filled with a transition-metal dichalcogenide, or […]
Graphene Patterned at Room Temp

by R. Colin Johnson @ eetimes.com LAKE WALES Fla.—Graphene is easily grown with chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper foil, but a simple way of etching out the necessary circuit patterns and transferring them to a non-metallic substrate has eluded engineers. Now researchers at the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) claim to have a one-step room […]
Supercapacitors to replace batteries?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/supercapacitors-to-replace-batteries/
by Martin Cooke @ elektormagazine.com: It was reported last year that researchers at Rice University in the US, led by chemist James Tour had developed a method of producing a form of graphene on commercial polyimide plastic sheet by zapping it with a laser. The process is called LIG (Laser Induced Graphene). The resulting graphene layer […]
