A lot of you use WiFi for your Internet of Things devices, but that pretty much rules out a battery-powered deployment because WiFi devices use a lot of juice. Until now. Researchers at the University ...

What can designers do with a small-signal FET device that doesn't require input-signal biasing? In other words, what can they do with a device in which the gate-source threshold voltage is zero, ...

Researchers report that lab tests of a new metasurface-based antenna that can harvest 100 microwatts of power, enough to power simple devices, from low power radio waves. This represents an important ...

The Internet of Things is the imagined network of data links that will emerge when everyday objects are fitted with tiny identifying devices. The idea is that every parcel in a post office would ...

The University of Michigan has produced a miniature sensor that harnesses solar energy and could last for years without needing to be replaced. Composed of a solar cell, processor, and battery, the ...

Researchers at Joseph Fourier University in France have created a new biofuel cell that harnesses oxygen and glucose from the body to produce electricity. Glucose biofuel cells (GBFCs) were placed ...

San Antonio, TX. APEC is underway, with Monday plenary-session presenters covering a range of topics, from deep sea to deep space and from microwatts to kilowatts. APEC-related activities commenced ...

Low-power wearables may soon bid adieu to batteries and start drawing energy generated by body heat and movement, and ambient energy from the environment. Consumer electronics devices are getting ...
