Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), semiconductor-based devices that emit light when an electric current flows through them, are key building blocks of numerous electronic devices. LEDs are used to light up smartphone, computer, and TV displays, as well as light sources for...
When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, as incident light can excite electrons within it, affecting its...
Three-dimensional (3D) integration has opened new possibilities for the development of denser circuits with more interconnected electronic components. 3D integration approaches entail stacking multiple layers of electronic circuits together, ultimately producing more...
While systems that can generate energy from renewable sources are becoming increasingly widespread, it might take a while before these systems fully replace solutions that rely on the burning of fossil fuels. In the meantime, researchers have been trying to develop...
The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based models is placing greater demands on the electronics industry, as many of these models require significant storage space and computational power. Engineers worldwide have thus been trying to develop neuromorphic...
Edge computing devices, devices located in proximity to the source of data instead of in large data centers, could perform computations locally. This could reduce latency, particularly in real-time applications, as it would minimize the need to transfer data from the...
In recent years, roboticists have introduced robotic systems that can complete missions in various environments, ranging from the ground to underground, aboveground and underwater settings. While several of these robots can grasp and move objects on the ground, the...
Wind turbines and photovoltaics (PVs) are becoming increasingly widespread worldwide, which could contribute to reducing air pollution caused by fossil fuel emissions. To produce energy, however, these renewable energy solutions rely on specific weather conditions...
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have become increasingly better at synthesizing images and videos showing humans, animals and objects. The automated generation of videos in which human characters engage in specific activities could have various valuable...
The advent of the internet has changed the way people access and share information, making it easier for malicious individuals to spread biased, unreliable or false news. Recent technological advances, including artificial intelligence (AI) models that can generate...
