Researchers have designed the first fully flexible, battery-free “rectenna” — a device that converts energy from Wi-Fi signals into electricity — that could be used to power flexible and wearable electronics, medical devices, and sensors for the “internet of things.”
Researchers have reported fabricating atom-thin processors, a discovery that could have far-reaching impacts on nanoscale chip production. They have shown that lithography using a probe heated above 100o C outperformed standard methods for fabricating metal electrodes on 2D semiconductors such as molybdenum disulfide—a material that scientists believe may supplant silicon for atomically small chips.

Researchers have developed a cheap and effective catalyst that can generate hydrogen fuel from water as efficiently as platinum, currently the best — but also most expensive — water-splitting catalyst. The new catalyst, which is composed of nanometer-thin sheets of metal carbide, is manufactured using a self-assembly process that relies on a surprising ingredient: gelatin, the material that gives Jell-O its jiggle.

Researchers have come up with a new way to build nanoscale structures using an innovative "shrinking" technique. The new method uses equipment many laboratories already have and is relatively straightforward, so it could make nanoscale fabrication more accessible.
