Cartoon Network and Cyberbullying Research Center Release First-Ever National Research Findings on Cyberbullying Among Tweens

October 7, 2020 sarah Jonas Bullying, COVID-19, Cyberbullying, Electronic Devices, Florida Atlantic University, Pandemic, Parents, Research, Social Media, Survey, Technology, Tweens, United States

A survey of 1,034 tweens found that one in five (21%) tweens have experienced cyberbullying in some way: either by witnessing cyberbullying (15%), having been cyberbullied themselves (15%), or by cyberbullying others (3%). The survey also found that during the coronavirus pandemic, 90% of all 9- to 12-year-olds are using social apps, such as connected games and video-sharing sites in which they interact with others online.

Quantum Materials Quest Could Benefit From Graphene That Buckles

August 12, 2020 sarah Jonas 2D materials, Building Blocks, Crystals, Devices, Electricity, Electronic Devices, Electronics, Electrons, Energy, Graphene, Graphite, Health, health monitoring devices, Magnetic Fields, Magnetism, Materials, Materials Science, New Jersey, NJ, Physics, Power, Quantum Computers, quantum materials, Research, Robots, Rutgers, Rutgers University, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Science, Sensors, Superconductivity, Superconductors, Tech, Technology

Graphene, an extremely thin two-dimensional layer of the graphite used in pencils, buckles when cooled while attached to a flat surface, resulting in beautiful pucker patterns that could benefit the search for novel quantum materials and superconductors, according to Rutgers-led research in the journal Nature. Quantum materials host strongly interacting electrons with special properties, such as entangled trajectories, that could provide building blocks for super-fast quantum computers. They also can become superconductors that could slash energy consumption by making power transmission and electronic devices more efficient.

Two Steps Closer to Flexible, Powerful, Fast Bioelectronic Devices

April 24, 2020 sarah Jonas Electronic Devices, Epilepsy

Led by Biomedical Engineering Prof Dion Khodagholy, researchers have designed biocompatible ion-driven soft transistors that can perform real-time neurologically relevant computation and a mixed-conducting particulate composite that allows creation of electronic components out of a single material. These have promise for bioelectronic devices that are fast, sensitive, biocompatible, soft, and flexible, with long-term stability in physiological environments such as the human body. In particular, they could facilitate diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disease.

A new way to cool down electronic devices, recover waste heat

April 22, 2020 sarah Jonas Batteries, Cell Phone, Electricity, Electronic Devices, Electronics, Hydrogel, waste heat

Using electronic devices for too long can cause them to overheat. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Nano Letters have developed a hydrogel that can both cool down electronics, such as cell phone batteries, and convert their waste heat into electricity.

Improving Optical Characteristics of Thin Glass

October 24, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments AVS, AVS 66th International Symposium and Exhibition, Corning Inc., Electronic Devices, Glass, Optical, Technology

In recent years, glass has become an important part of our day-to-day lives, acting as a physical boundary between humans and digital information and communication. At the AVS 66th International Symposium and Exhibition, Albert Fahey, an associate scientist at Corning Incorporated, will present on the methods scientists use to study the chemical and mechanical properties of glass and other optical surfaces, how they are working to better understand these surfaces and their limits, and what new things are being done to improve user friendliness.

SMH! Brains trained on e-devices may struggle to understand scientific info

August 12, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments Electronic Devices, Neurosceince, stem

Overuse of electronic devices is no “LOL” matter, according to researchers, who suggest that excessive interaction with e-devices may be related to weaker activity in areas of the brain that are key to understanding scientific texts.
