This post talks about the breakthrough achieved by MIT engineers in developing a continuous manufacturing process that produces long strips of high-quality graphene. This approach will assist in establishing a reliable method for mass production & adoption.
Researchers over the years have been trying to study the human body and develop functionalities in accordance with it. In line with this thought, researchers have emulated a sensory(afferent) nerve. This artificial mechanoreceptor was used to control an insect's disabled leg and distinguish braille characters. This system has potential for application in domains like neurorobotics & neuroprosthetics.
The article discusses the efforts made by researchers to grow inorganic Gallium Nitride(GaN) using graphene as buffer/ substrate to address the issue of thermal budget among others. This heterostructure can open new venues for Flexible Electronics and Optoelectronics
This post talks about the breakthrough achieved by Panasonic Corporation in developing low loss and high speed GaN power transistor. This will assist in establishing the reliability for mass scale production and adoption.
