Engineers at the University of Washington add an LED array into a flexible contact lens, ultimately aiming at in-eye head-up displays

University College London spin-out Senceive is developing number crunching nodes for its wireless sensor networks. “There are applications which need very high performance processing,” CEO Matthew Britton told EW. “For example, with railway points you need to record samples very fast.” The firm designs and makes networks of self-powered wireless sensors. For example, it is supplying arrays of inclinometers to allow ...

The University of Surrey is to lead a five year £5m Government funded study into silicon photonics

The University of Manchester develops an electroluminescent thread that can be woven and knitted into cloth to form emissive garments, using coating of dielectric and phosphor layers

The University of Cambridge and The Technology Partnership are to develop plastic solar cells in a project sponsored with £5m by the Government-funded Carbon Trust

The cost of testing a transistor will approach and may exceed the cost of manufacturing it, Professor Bashir Al-Hashimi at the University of Southampton, has warned

Researchers at the University of Cambridge may have found the mechanism that makes green LEDs less efficient that other colours, but can’t reveal details

Researchers at the University of Southampton have used a novel holey fibre and a laser to drill square holes for display manufacturer Exitech

R4513 is a rat pioneer. Thanks in part to R4513, researchers from two UK universities should this summer complete a robot rodent that uses whiskers to collect information about its environment. Over the last 30 months the Whiskerbot project has been developing models of how the rat uses its whiskers, how the information is interpreted at the follicle, and how ...
