Tiny Sensors, Big Potential

“The electrical energy from batteries powers not only the ignition system that turns the engine and moves electric vehicles but also powers almost every sensing feature of today’s automobiles. Electricity turns on the car headlights for night travel, rolls …

Assessing the Promise of Gallium Oxide as an Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductor

“In microelectronic devices, the bandgap is a major factor determining the electrical conductivity of the underlying materials. Substances with large bandgaps are generally insulators that do not conduct electricity well, and those with smaller bandgaps are semiconductors. A more recent …

Watching nanomaterials form in 4D

“Novel technology allows researchers to see dynamic reactions as they happen at the nanoscale When famed physicists Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska first introduced the transmission electron microscope (TEM) in 1933, it allowed researchers to peer inside cells, microorganisms and …

New 3D printing method promises vastly superior medical implants for millions

“For the millions of people every year who have or need medical devices implanted, a new advancement in 3D printing technology developed at the University of Florida promises significantly quicker implantation of devices that are stronger, less expensive, more flexible …
