Using X-rays to see inside the human body has revolutionised non-invasive medical diagnostics. However, the dose of X-rays required for imaging is far higher than background levels, due to the poor performance of the detector materials currently available. This can cause harm to patients, and in some cases even cancer.
Arm is working with Cambridge researchers to make our phones and computers more secure, more efficient and ready for the digital revolution.
Researchers have developed environmentally friendly materials that could harvest enough energy from indoor light to power wireless smart devices.
Researchers at Cambridge, Imperial and Singapore have developed a method to print ultrathin coatings on next-generation solar cells, allowing them to work in tandem with silicon solar cells to boost efficiencies.
Four researchers at the University of Cambridge have won advanced grants from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premier research funding body.
Three Cambridge researchers are among the new Fellows announced today by the Royal Academy of Engineering, in recognition of their outstanding contributions.
Researchers have demonstrated how a non-toxic alternative to lead could form the basis of next-generation solar cells.
A new thin-film electrolyte material that helps solid oxide fuel cells operate more efficiently and cheaply than those composed of conventional materials, and has potential applications for portable power sources, has been developed at the University of Cambridge.
The ability to design, control and build new materials at the level of individual atoms could open up a whole new world of electronic devices.
