Solution to High Energy Costs Could Lie Underground

It’s compressed air energy storage (CAES).“Until recently energy has been relatively inexpensive. But now prices are rising dramatically, and we need…

World's smallest high performance, low energy sensor

Professor Hiroshi Mizuta and his team at ECS are part of the three year European FP7-funded NEMSIC (Nano-electro-mechanical-system-integrated-circuits) project…

Rubber ‘snake’ could help wave power get a bite of the energy market

Invented in the UK, the ‘Anaconda’ is a totally innovative wave energy concept. Its ultra-simple design means it would be cheap to manufacture and maintain,…

'Electron trapping' may impact future microelectronics measurements

The transistor is one of the basic building blocks of modern electronics, and the life expectancy or reliability of a transistor is often projected based on…

Researchers stress need to go solar

Sean Nuzum and Tim Davey, who both studied for the MEng in Electronic Engineering at the University's School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), based…

Oxygen Ions for Fuel Cells Get Loose at Low(er) Temperatures

The finding announced this month in Nature Materials may be key to solving fuel cell reliability issues and lead to reduced operating costs in high-performance…
