A technique to decrease the body electric potential using a triboelectric nanogenerator is discovered and developed into a static prevention technology.
Physicists have found that a novel metallic crystal displays unusual electronic behaviour on its surface, thanks to the crystal's unique atomic structure. Their findings open up the possibility of using this material to develop faster and smaller microelectronic devices.
The discovery of magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin crystals opens up opportunities to explore new physics and to develop next-generation spintronic devices. However, 2D magnetic semiconductors with Curie temperatures higher than room temperature have rarely been reported. Researchers now show that high-quality, nonlayered cobalt ferrite nanosheets as thin as a single unit cell can be synthesized via van der Waals epitaxy.
Researchers developed a wearable tactile rendering system, which can mimic the sensation of touch with high spatial resolution and a rapid response rate.
