How to Reduce Power Consumption in Battery-Powered Devices
Battery technology lags far behind the technology it powers. As a result, the sole area in which portable devices are stagnant is their battery life.

The first electrical engineer
Who was the first electrical engineer? Thomas Edison, James Clerk Maxwell, William Gilbert? None of the above.
Nanotubes serve as light emitter in Integrated Photonic Circuit
Using fiber optic cables as waveguides for transmitting light that is ultimately converted into voice calls or data has been a mainstay for the telecommunications industry for decades.

Smart Contact Lenses
Samsung was recently granted a patent in South Korea for smart contact lense technology. The lenses' camera and sensors are controlled by blinks and can deliver a seamless augmented reality experience.
What is a breadboard ?
A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate. The breadboard has strips of metal underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of the board.
This bizarre electron behavior may lead to new electronic technologies
Researchers at Princeton University have observed a bizarre behavior in a strange new crystal that could hold the key for future electronic technologies. Unlike most materials in which electrons travel on the surface, in these new materials the electrons sink into the depths of the crystal through special conductive channels.
