circuits
System combines biological ion channels with solid-state transistors to create a new kind of electronics
Interdisciplinary project to support development of more efficient solar cells, other future materials
The method was discovered by UW scientists and confirmed in tests at Argonne
NASA awards $245,000 to University of Arkansas-affiliated firm to develop complex circuits
Invention captures wasted cell phone energy, feeds it back to battery.
Discovery represents advance in understanding of conductive material.
Work will improve processors, drivers, controllers and other circuits.
Scientific breakthrough to potentially revolutionize high-speed electronics, nanoscale opto-electronics and nonlinear optics.
Why do cell phones drop calls? Like a radio dial tuned to different frequencies (stations), cell phone antennas have tuning circuits that quickly switch frequencies when controlled by a voltage applied to a tunable capacitor.
