A novel fabrication technique developed by a University of Connecticut engineering professor could provide the breakthrough technology scientists have been looking for to vastly improve the efficiency ...

Scientists are using a novel fabrication process to create ultra-efficient solar energy rectennas capable of harvesting more than 70 percent of the sun's electromagnetic radiation and simultaneously ...

Researchers built a small, flexible device that harvests wi-fi, bluetooth and cellular signals, and turns them into DC electricity. Christopher Intagliata reports. One of the biggest drawbacks to ...

It'll be a long time before money spent on this tech bears more fruit than simply building more solar arrays here on the Earth. Indeed, should a space-based energy transmission antenna be deployed, ...

It's been the dream of visionaries for decades: Sunlight converted into direct current to use for recharging emission-free electric cars. Photovoltaic cells offer that capability today, but now ...

Using nanometer-scale components, researchers have demonstrated the first optical rectenna, a device that combines the functions of an antenna and a rectifier diode to convert light directly into DC ...

Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology in the US are claiming a world first with the fabrication of a new kind of optical device that combines the function of a photodetector and a rectifier ...

Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new form of technology that combines two well-established technologies — a rectifier and an antenna — to create a device capable of ...
