“Detection methods that identify the weaknesses in smart power grids will prevent cyberattacks from disrupting supply to critical infrastructure. Power grids have become far more complex in recent decades due to energy demands, environmental regulations and small-scale renewable energy systems …
“A catalyst turns three monomer mixtures into diblock dialternating terpolymers in a single step. A catalyst developed at KAUST could be the key to structural diversity in polymer materials and industrial-scale polymerizations involving multiple monomers. The catalyst transforms a mixture …
“In-memory sensing technology will facilitate electronic systems that are faster, smaller and consume less energy. Smart systems and environments of the future will require merging analog sensing and digital memory functions into single electronic components, suggests KAUST computing engineer Nazek …
“The statistics of extreme events reveals that cryptocurrency prices tend to fall in tandem but rise more independently. As cryptocurrency becomes more mainstream, understanding its behavior is a new take on weighing up risk. KAUST’s analysis of price movements …
“Layered nanomaterials shine for lossless light-energy conversion. A nanocomposite that absorbs X-rays and then, with nearly perfect efficiency, re-emits the captured energy as light, could help to improve high-resolution medical imaging and security screening. The material’s near-100 percent energy …
“Damage from adding electrical contacts to sensitive semiconductors can be mitigated using a buffer layer and optimized deposition. Nov 30, 2021 Crucial in the design of any semiconductor device is how to inject and extract an electrical current, and now …
“Coral restoration could become easier and quicker with the use of 3D printing. As the technology matures, it could be used to rapidly and reliably create support structures for corals to grow on. Coral reefs around the world are suffering …
“A screen-printing approach to creating foldable circuits could make many functional devices easier and cheaper to mass produce. A method that combines screen-printable composite and metallic inks could make foldable electronics easier and cheaper to manufacture at industrial scales. These …
“Movable airborne antennas receiving cellphone signals could reduce EMF exposure while offering higher data transmission speed and using less power. Mobile tethered drones might offer a speedy and environmentally friendly alternative for receiving terrestrial base stations while alleviating public concerns …
“Tiny light-emitting devices that can create all the colors in the rainbow are essential for the next generation of phones and screens. Micrometer-scale light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) are the ideal building block for next-generation microLED displays used in head-mounted monitors, mobile …
