Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP (Fraunhofer FEP) have developed an innovative process for cost-effective production of piezoelectric materials for micro-energy harvesting applications. Developments in many applications require energy self-sufficient probes and miniature mobile electronics systems that acquire the energy they need from the surrounding environment.
The 2014 Von Hippel Award, the Materials Research Society’s (MRS) highest honor, will be presented to Marvin L. Cohen, University Professor of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley (UC–Berkeley) and senior scientist in the Materials Sciences Division of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
Special Optics, a Navitar Company, congratulates this year’s recipients of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell, and William E. Moerner, and is excited to have made a small contribution to the ground...
Researchers at McGill University have conducted ultrafast electron diffraction experiments to study the semiconductor-metal transition of vanadium dioxide (VO2), during which they observed the reorganizations of the atomic positions of the material and its electron distribution, simultaneously. This transformation occurs at femtosecond time scales, which is in the range of one millionth of a billionth of a second.
