Energy scavenging electronics has long used the thermoelectric Seebeck effect to convert temperature differences into electric voltage. A Seebeck device creates voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. One bugaboo with using thermoelectrics, however, is that most employ toxic materials. But in a development that could help enable a variety of internet-of-things […]

No more GaN? Your next power transistor
could be built on an STO/NTO sandwich
Will power electronics soon say goodbye to gallium-nitride transistors? Possibly, according to researchers from the University of Utah and the University of Minnesota. Though there is still a lot of work to do, the combination of strontium titanate (STO) and neodymium titanate (NTO) looks like a promising way of synthesizing a material that has a […]
