PhD researcher develops polymer films with two functions for energy systems Porphyrin-based materials combine electrochromic switching with electrical energy storage Nickel, zinc and metal-free films show different optical behavior A PhD researcher at the University of Turku has developed multifunctional materials that could eventually be used in smart windows capable of storing energy while adjusting

Army-funded researchers explore quantum vibrations as future control mechanisms. Vibrating effects may affect future quantum communication technologies. Energy loss in materials drives interest in quantum control. The US Army has invested in quantum research that examines how vibrations affect electronic behavior in ultra-thin materials. Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, are investigating whether these

US sanctions forced Huawei to rapidly shift domestic chip innovation Engineers developed hundreds of chips under strict technological constraints Domestic semiconductor chain expanded through coordinated industry-wide efforts When the US Department of Commerce added Huawei to its entity list on May 16, 2019, few observers anticipated the long-term consequences of this decision. Huawei chairman Xu
