"Rigid silicon tech has been ubiquitous for decades. These novel transistors enable AR, flexible/wearable devices, & other as-yet-undiscovered applications in nanotech, communications, health, and much more. The stuff of science fiction, maybe no longer." unsw.edu.au/news/2022/05/t…

This new "self-charging battery" can harvest enough energy from moisture to power small electronic devices. It sounds too good to be true — so, how does it work? ab.co/398UUPG James Purtill

Congratulations to PhD Candidate Ashraful Azam from the School of Materials Science & Engineering (Supervisor: Professor Sean Li) for being awarded runner up in this year's Best Poster category at CAMS 2022 in Melbourne cams2022.com.au

🖥️ UNSW researchers have developed a tiny, transparent and flexible insulator material for transistors. The new material would enable semiconductor electronics to get smaller without compromising their function. 👏

Published in nature, the research resolves one of the crucial bottlenecks for the development of a new generation of futuristic electronic devices, from augmented reality to flexible displays, and many undiscovered applications. newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-t…

This 3-storey-tall #optical fiber drawing tower allows for faster draw speeds and cooling times for #preform coatings and measurement. #FiberOptics are used in all kinds of #telecommunications, #medical & #industrial applications--this #MMFI facility can produce 100s kms a day💡

"Over 100 million devices in the space of a human fingernail..." Thanks to @SimonThomsen from ausbiz's STARTUP DAILY for chatting with Professor Sean Li about our tiny transistors! Clip starts from 23:20 -> ausbiz.com.au/media/startup-…
