New Technology Makes Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles and Ferries Attractive

October 2, 2023 Editorial Staff Comments Off on New Technology Makes Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles and Ferries Attractive

Researchers at Chalmers have developed an induction technology that enables battery charging without the help of a human or robotic arm. The technology is also so complete that it can soon be presented to industry. A new type of semiconductor based on silicon carbide. And a newly developed copper wire, as thin as a human hair. These are a couple of factors that suddenly made it more realistic to transmit high power through air. […]

Breakthrough in Magnetic Quantum Material Paves Way for Ultra-Fast Sustainable Computers

September 18, 2023 Guest Blog Comments Off on Breakthrough in Magnetic Quantum Material Paves Way for Ultra-Fast Sustainable Computers

The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties are believed to pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types of materials have been shown to work only in extremely cold temperatures. Now, a research team at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden are the first to make a device made of a two-dimensional magnetic material work in at room temperature. […]
