Self-powered display technologies

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.

6. Princeton engineers develop low-cost recipe for patterning microchips
   09-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Creating ultrasmall grooves on microchips -- a key part of many modern technologies -- is about to become as easy as making a sandwich, using a new process invented by Princeton engineers. The simple, low-cost technique results in the self-formation of periodic lines, or gratings, separated by as few as 60 nanometers -- less than one ten-thousandth of a millimeter -- on microchips.

8. The celestial whirligig
   02-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Comet McNaught, the Great Comet of 2007, has been delighting those who have seen it with the unaided eye as a spectacular display in the evening sky. Pushing ESO's New Technology Telescope to its limits, a team of European astronomers have obtained the first, and possibly unique, detailed observations of this object. Their images show spectacular jets of gas from the comet spiralling several thousands of kilometres into space, while the spectra reveal the presence of sodium in its atmosphere, something seen very rarely.
