Improving Wearables with Flexible and Rechargable Battery

Improving Wearables with Flexible and Rechargable Battery

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed the first printed battery that is flexible, stretchable and rechargeable. The zinc batteries could be used to power everything from wearable sensors to solar cells and other kinds of electronics. The researchers made the printed batteries flexible and stretchable by incorporating a hyper-elastic polymer material

RESEARCHERS DEVELOPED VO2 BASED MEMS MIRROR ACTUATOR THAT REQUIRES VERY LOW POWER

RESEARCHERS DEVELOPED VO2 BASED MEMS MIRROR ACTUATOR THAT REQUIRES VERY LOW POWER

joint research by the US Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorateand Michigan State University have developed micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) actuator based on smart materials, specifically vanadium dioxide (VO2). In the room temperature, Vanadium dioxide exhibits the Mott transition. It is a not-well-understood phenomenon known to occur in transition metal chalcogenides and transition metal oxides. The research team was able to use VO2

Open Source Framework for USB Generic HID devices based on the PIC18F and Windows

Open Source Framework for USB Generic HID devices based on the PIC18F and Windows

Introduction If you’ve dabbled with PIC18F microcontrollers and the USB Generic HID standard before (perhaps you’ve even tried my Building a PIC18F USB device project) then you will have noticed that there is a lot of complexity in supporting USB on both the PIC18F and the Windows host-side of things. Getting beyond the basic steps of
