Embroidery as low-cost solution for wearable electronics

Control Engineering

The researchers relied on a method of generating electricity called the “triboelectric effect,” which involves harnessing electrons exchanged by two different materials, like static electricity. This is a low-cost method for making wearable electronics using commercially available products,” Yin said.

Superconductivity switches on and off in magic-angle graphene

Control Engineering

The superconducting switch is seen by the MIT researchers as another tool researchers can consider as they develop materials for faster, smaller and more energy-efficient electronics. When they upped the field, the insulator suddenly morphed into a superconductor, allowing electrons to flow, friction-free.
