Researchers Developed New Efficient, Thin, and Flexible Cooling Device
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-developed-new-efficient-thin-flexible-cooling-device/
Engineers and scientists from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and SRI International, California, have created a thin flexible device that could keep smartphones and laptop computers cool and prevent overheating. The component is based on the electrocaloric effect – a phenomenon where the temperature of material changes when an electric field is applied to it. The […]
Researchers Developed Hybrid 3D Printing Method To Make Flexible Wearable Devices
https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-developed-hybrid-3d-printing-method-make-flexible-wearable-devices/
Wearable electronic devices that intend to track and measure the body’s movements must be soft enough to flex and stretch to accommodate every body-movement. But, integrating rigid electronics on skin-like flexible materials has proven to be challenging. Clearly, Such components cannot stretch like soft materials can, and this mismatch frequently causes wearable devices to fail. […]
Alzheimer’s Wearable Assistant
