Triboelectric clothing is breathable for comfort

Electro-spun fibres are a promising candidate for cloth-based tribo-electric nanogenerators (TENGs) according to the University of Fukui. Electro-spinning involves drawing solutions of polymers into fibres using electrical charge. The researchers have developed an all-fibre composite layer TENG that can be integrated with normal cloth. “With our work, we are aiming to provide a new point of ...

Liquid metal pump works by surface tension

A drop of metal that is liquid at just above room temperature can be used as a pump in microfluidics, according to researchers at the University of New South Wales Sydney. Gallium and gallium alloys are suitable. These “are attractive materials due to their unique electrical, thermal and fluidic properties,” according to the university. They ...

IBM builds 127qubit chip

IBM has developed a 127 qubit chip called Eagle which, it claims, can’t be simulated by a traditional supercomputer. To simulate Eagle you would need more classical bits than there are atoms in every human being on the planet, says IBM. ‘We had to combine and improve upon techniques developed in previous generations of IBM ...
