Battery anxiety is a modern day problem for many of us. Mobile phone and wearable technologies are getting developed rapidly, but battery issues seem to be neverending. As phones and wearables are getting thinner, there needs to be a trade-off between battery life and design. Scientists are searching for a way to make a battery that’s […]

Nanotechnoloy – Nano coating prevents exploding Li-ion batteries


https://www.electronics-lab.com/nano-coating-prevents-exploding-li-ion-batteries/

Lithium-ion batteries are very popular as they’re lightweight and have high energy density. But at the same time, li-ion batteries are very sensitive to overcharge/over discharge. An internal short circuit can cause fire and it may even lead to a violent explosion. Fortunately, nanotechnology found a way to prevent this kind of nightmare. How? let’s […]

Diodes are one of the most common used electronic components in our designs used to direct the current flow. Single-molecule electronics is a “branch of nanotechnology that uses single molecules, or nanoscale collections of single molecules, as electronic components.” according to Wikipedia definition, and shrinking the size of components is one of the biggest target […]

Solar Cells Made Obsolete – 3D rectennas aim at 40-to-90% efficiency

R. Colin Johnson @ eetimes.com: PORTLAND, Ore.–Now before you get all excited by the headline, which is not click-bait according to the researchers, a new kind of nanoscale rectenna (half antenna and half rectifier) can convert solar and infrared into electricity, plus be tuned to nearly any other frequency as a detector. The invention was made […]
