Electricity generated from compression: Nylon-film device keeps working after being run over by a car
Researchers have become successful in generating electricity from compression using a flexible nylon-film device.
A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over ...

Nylon film turns pressure into power and survives being run over by a car
Researchers at RMIT University have developed a nylon-11 film that generates electricity when squeezed, stepped on, or even ...
An international research team reported the first realization of single-crystalline T-Nb2O5 thin films having two-dimensional (2D) vertical ionic transport channels, which results in a fast and ...
Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) has announced that its commercialization of thin-film Hall elements, initiated in 1983, has been recognized as an IEEE Milestone by the Institute of ...
EnerChip is a solid-state thin-film battery technology well suited for applications where backup power is needed to maintain the settings of microcontroller memories, real-time clocks, and SRAM during ...
What are Thin-Film Transistors and How do They Operate? Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are a kind of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) made by covering an insulating substrate ...
Laser diodes used to illuminate telecom fiberoptic cables keep getting smaller and smaller. But they still generate heat that needs to be removed. For example, a low-power laser diode might generate ...
An international team finds new single-crystalline oxide thin films with fast and dramatic changes in electrical properties via Li-ion intercalation through engineered ionic transport channels. These ...
