The road to longer battery life
Are you sick of your phone’s battery dying after only a few hours? Researchers are hard at work on improving something called the solid electrolyte interphase as a way to boost battery life.
Ringing in new way to measure, modulate trapped light
Researchers have developed a novel way to noninvasively measure and map how and where trapped light vibrates within microscale optical resonators. Visualizing the vibration patterns will help scientists to perfect ultrasensitive optical sensors for detecting biomolecules and even single atoms.

Next-gen pacemakers may be powered by unlikely source: The heart
Researchers are developing technology to make pacemakers battery-free. The advancement is based upon a piezoelectric system that converts vibrational energy — created inside the chest by each heartbeat — into electricity to power the pacemaker.
Offshore wind turbine construction could be putting seals’ hearing at risk
Noise from pile driving during offshore wind turbine construction could be damaging the hearing of harbour seals around the UK, researchers have found. They say more research is needed on how noise affects marine mammals’ hearing and into engineering solutions to reduce noise levels.
