Radio frequency filters can change which signals they block through a range of frequencies, using an origami-based structure to change their dimensions. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology say that the tunable filters can be used in antenna systems that adapt to ambient conditions in real-time for electromagnetic cloaking systems that could be reconfigured on-the-fly to reflect or ...

Researchers at the University of Manchester have identified dihydrolevogucosenone, a non toxic material which is less expensive than conventional conductive inks. It is a sustainable material that provides higher concentrations and conductivity compared with graphene ink and is lower in cost as it does not rely on metal nanoparticles for electrical conductivity in printed electronics. Printed conductive inks are being ...
