Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that store energy by leveraging the reversible reduction of Li ions, remain among the most widely used battery technologies worldwide. These batteries power a wide range of devices, ranging from smartphones,...
Since the advent of OpenAI's ChatGPT, large language models (LLMs) have become significantly popular. These models, trained on vast amounts of data, can answer written user queries in strikingly human-like ways, rapidly generating definitions to specific terms, text...
Over the past few decades, sustainable energy solutions that rely on renewable sources, particularly the sun and wind, have become increasingly advanced and widespread. Many countries worldwide have committed to drastically lowering carbon emissions in the next decade...
Transparent electronic devices could have numerous valuable real-world applications. Among other things, they could enable the creation of new optical devices, smart gear or wearables, invisible solar panels and integrated communication systems.
Edge computing applications, which entail the processing and storage of data at the source of its production (i.e., near where it is created), is now being applied to a growing number of technologies. The application of edge computing translates into devices that can...
Relaxor ferroelectrics are materials with ferroelectric properties and high electrostriction (i.e., the ability to contract or deform in response to electric fields). These materials can be used to create highly efficient energy storage devices, such as capacitors.
In recent decades, roboticists have been developing increasingly sophisticated robots inspired by nature and living organisms. By realistically emulating biological processes and animal behaviors, these robots can often navigate different environments and tackle...
To satisfy the growing demands of the electronics industry, engineers and material scientists are trying to continuously improve the performance of battery technologies. Lithium (Li) metal batteries, batteries with a metallic Li anode, are among the most well-known...
Lithium (Li) metal batteries, batteries that contain a metallic Li-based anode, are currently used to power a wide range of electronic devices. Most of these batteries contain carbonate-based electrolytes, which are unable to passivate the corrosion of the lithium...
Strontium titanate (SrTiO3), an oxide of strontium and titanium with a perovskite structure, has many advantageous properties, including spin-orbit coupling, electrical tunability, and unconventional superconductivity. Compared to the superconductivity of conventional...
