Using a laser to wirelessly charge a smartphone safely across a room
Engineers at the University of Washington have, for the first time, come up with a way to safely charge a smartphone wirelessly using a laser. A narrow, invisible beam from a laser emitter…
Receiver ‘wakes’ phone from sleep mode when you need it
Stanford researchers develop new method for waking up small electronic devices. A device that’s turned off doesn’t suck battery life, but it also doesn’t work. Now a low-power system that’s always on…
Artificial eye: Researchers combine metalens with an artificial muscle
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed an adaptive metalens, that is essentially a flat, electronically controlled artificial eye. Artificial eye automatically stretches…
Stanford researchers develop stretchable, touch-sensitive electronics
Stanford researchers have set the stage for an evolution in electronics by taking the concept of ‘artificial skin’ to the next level, demonstrating not only a stretchable circuitry that can feel the…
