Engineers at Roke Manor Research in Romesy, U.K. have developed a new type of wireless communication that uses electromagnetic waves to send high-definition video across a piece of fabric. The fabric, made of a dielectric-coated conducting material, utilizes a type of electromagnetic wave known as a Zenneck surface wave to transfer information along the interface between the … [Read more...]
LAN-Capable, Device-Charging Tables Demonstrated at Ceatec Electronics Show
Researchers from the University of Tokyo demonstrated tables that provide wireless charging and form local networks between devices laid on top of them at the Ceatec electronics show in Japan. The concept was developed from an idea to support wireless ad-hoc networks that are more secure and local than current Wi-Fi networks and do not require cables. The tables are created … [Read more...]
Clear, Conductive Films for Touch Screen Devices Developed
Researchers from Brown University and ATMI Inc. report the best-ever conductivity and transparency performance for an ITO made using a chemical solution, and it is intended for application in resistive touch screens. To make the films, the team synthesized nanoscale ITO crystals in a solution. They then made a flat and smooth film by dripping the solution onto a glass plate … [Read more...]
Production Line for Nickel Chemical Vapor Deposition Coated Fibers
Conductive Composites Company has commissioned a new production line for high performance nickel Chemical Vapor Deposition coated fibers. This new coating line more than doubles capacity for nickel coated fibers and improves the supply chain and pricing of nickel coated fibers. The CVD coating process provides a highly ductile and uniform metal coating, with better handling … [Read more...]
Engineers Develop New System for Producing Conductive Films
Researchers at Yale University in Connecticut have developed a new automated system for producing thin, conductive films that may decrease processing time in lithium-ion battery and fuel cell production. According to Forrest Gittleson, a Yale graduate student and a member of the research team, the new automated system, known as spin-spray layer-by-layer (SSLbL), “improves the … [Read more...]
Group of Swedish Researchers Seek to Improve Graphene Production
A new Swedish research grant will be given to Chalmers University of Technology, a sum of SEK 40 million, to research graphene. Thirty researchers from Chalmers and Uppsala and Linköping Universities will be collaborating in international graphene research to improve the material and make it easier to reproduce. They plan to “develop reliable synthesis methods” and then “the … [Read more...]
Die-Cast Enclosures in Three New Shapes
Hammond Manufacturing has extended its popular 1590 family with the introduction of the 1590TRP and STP models. The octagonal 1590TRP is 5.23 inches, 133mm, across the flats and 1.54 inches, 39mm high; it will house a circular PCB up to 5.0 inches, 126mm, in diameter. The two 1590STP trapezoidal units are also 1.54 inches, 39mm, high; the smaller portrait format unit is 4.41 … [Read more...]
Application of Metallic Nanoparticles in Electric Conductive Inks
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) have allowed a patent covering Aculon, Inc.’s method for utilizing metallic nanoparticles in electric conductive inks. United States Patent Application No. 61/337,960 discloses an electroconductive ink with metallic nanoparticles. The ink contains an organophosphorus acid that increases adhesion between the deposited metallic … [Read more...]
