![]() ![]() ![]() This was pointed out to me in a flurry of tweets on Twitter claiming “ Cellphone Battery Life to Improve 10x Thanks to Nanotechnology.” Oddly, considering my recent preoccupation with improving mobile phone batteries and rechargeable batteries in general, I neglected to point out that one of the side benefits of conserving power in electronic devices is that the batteries will last longer. I focused primarily on its addressing of the issue of vampire energy consumption and how this project could account for much greater energy conservation. The project has been dubbed Steeper based on its intentions to create steep slope transistors that exhibit an abrupt change when switching between on and off states. ![]() On Wednesday I covered the announcement from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and IBM that they along with host of other European research institutes were intending to develop better transistors that would eliminate the wasted current that drips through transistor gates. ![]()
