Imagine turning any surface into a power source with ultra-lightweight, paper-thin solar cells ... By adhering the solar cells with a thin layer of UV-curable glue, they created a robust yet ...

Big sound from a thin film. MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin, low-power loudspeaker ... the new design relies on tiny domes on a thin layer of piezoelectric material, each of which ...

The fabrication process can enable the thin-film devices to be produced at scale. MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin loudspeaker ... on tiny domes on a thin layer of piezoelectric material ...

That’s why these mountable paper-thin speakers work even when attached to other surfaces. To accomplish this feat, the engineers sandwiched a thin layer of piezoelectric material between two ...

April 19, 2001 — -- Is it possible for your typical stereo speaker to both rock and roll ... more durable speakers made of the clear, paper-thin material. "The film itself is a speaker ...

The ultra-thin layers didn't just halt a projectile in its path, but sealed up around the embedded bead. Why is it so effective? When the composite is hit, it quickly melts into a liquid before ...

Because they are so thin and lightweight ... and senior author of a new paper describing the work. Joining Bulović on the paper are co-lead authors Mayuran Saravanapavanantham, an electrical ...
