(Nanowerk News) A novel fabrication technique developed by UConn engineering professor Brian Willis could provide the breakthrough technology scientists have been looking for to vastly improve today’s ...

(a) Outdoor OMEGA-SSPS ground demonstration and verification system, and (b) prototype of OMEGA-SSPS ground demonstration and verification system. SE: sun energy; TX: transmission antenna; RX: ...

“Demonstration of resonant tunneling effects in metal-double-insulator-metal (MI 2 M) diodes,” Amina Belkadi, Ayendra Weerakkody, & Garret Moddel, Nature ...

It's been the dream of visionaries for decades: Sunlight converted into direct current to use for recharging emission-free electric cars. Photovoltaic cells offer that capability today, but now ...

Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new form of technology that combines two well-established technologies — a rectifier and an antenna — to create a device capable of ...

Rather than splitting an exiton across a p-n junction, why not receive light like radio waves, with an antenna and a diode? That is the thinking behind a project at Georgia Tech, which has produced a ...

Developed by engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, optical rectennas use carbon nanotubes that act as antennas to capture light from the sun or other sources. As the waves of light hit the ...

Rectifying antennas – "rectennas" – are used as parasitic power capture devices that absorb radio frequency (RF) energy and convert it into usable electrical power. Constructing such devices to absorb ...
