Self-powered display technologies
05-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two recent patents have revealed new display technologies that not only display images but generate their own power. One of the new display screens, which incorporates a solar panel, will be suitable for cellphones, making their batteries last far longer than they do now. The other display could lead to self-powered electronic billboards.

New analog circuits could impact consumer electronics
02-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Advances in digital electronic circuits have prompted the boost in functions and ever- smaller size of such popular consumer goods as digital cameras. But the same cannot be said of the older analog circuits in the same devices, which process natural sights and sounds in the real world. They are draining power and causing other bottlenecks in improved consumer electronic devices. Now MIT engineers have devised new analog circuits they hope will change that.

Feeling the heat
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
Energy now lost as heat during the production of electricity could be harnessed through the use of silicon nanowires synthesized via a technique developed by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley. The far-ranging potential applications of this technology include DOE's hydrogen fuel cell-powered "Freedom CAR," and personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.

High school footballers wearing special helmets to monitor brain injuries
09-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
As they root for the home team from their bleacher seats this fall, high school gridiron fans in the small Illinois town of Tolono won't see anything out of the ordinary on the field. But tucked inside many of the maroon helmets worn by the Unity High School Rockets, a revolution of sorts is taking place. This season, 32 varsity team members are sporting helmets outfitted with the same electronic encoder modules now used by a handful of college teams.
