To improve fuel cell efficiency, Dr. Umit Koylu looks to the trees outside his office

$2.6 million awarded to research collaboration led by University of Wisconsin-Madison

Electronics giant TDK Corp. and the University of Alabama have signed a two-pronged research agreement to address challenges associated with the growing electric-energy movement and the miniaturization of electronic components.

A new, environmentally-friendly paper that glows could lead to sustainable, roll-up electronics.

Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have invented a novel electrical power converter system that simultaneously accepts power from a variety of energy sources and converts it for use in the electrical grid system.

By figuring out how to precisely order the molecules that make up what scientists call organic glass — the materials at the heart of some electronic displays, light-emitting diodes and solar cells — a team of chemists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set the stage for more efficient and sturdier portable electronic devices and possibly a new generation of solar cells based on organic materials.
