Embroidery as low-cost solution for wearable electronics

Control Engineering

The researchers relied on a method of generating electricity called the “triboelectric effect,” which involves harnessing electrons exchanged by two different materials, like static electricity. This is a low-cost method for making wearable electronics using commercially available products,” Yin said.

NIST Manufacturing Simulation Software Gets Interest from University and Government

NIST Manufacturing

Earlier in 2022, NIST researchers released a simulation package that models the behavior of "discrete manufacturing systems," which include the production and assembly of finished products, like vehicles, consumer electronics, and consumer goods.

Superconductivity switches on and off in magic-angle graphene

Control Engineering

The superconducting switch is seen by the MIT researchers as another tool researchers can consider as they develop materials for faster, smaller and more energy-efficient electronics. When they upped the field, the insulator suddenly morphed into a superconductor, allowing electrons to flow, friction-free.

Method developed to make semiconductors smart, compact

Control Engineering

Using an electron beam, they are able to create a desired pattern on semiconductors — a technique not often used in the industry. They’re using an electron beam as a “pencil” to write the patterns exactly where they want them. It’s not a common environment to have — water vapor and focused electron beams,” Maschmann said.
