Researchers Develop Arrays of Tiny Crystals That Deliver Efficient Wireless Energy

2023/08/25 19:58

Researchers have developed a novel photomechanical material that transforms light energy into mechanical work.

Imagine a person on the ground guiding an airborne drone that harnesses its energy from a laser beam, eliminating the need for carrying a bulky onboard battery.

That is the vision of a group of CU Boulder scientists from the Hayward Research Group. In a new study, the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering researchers have developed a novel and resilient photomechanical material that can transform light energy into mechanical work without heat or electricity, offering innovative possibilities for energy-efficient, wireless, and remotely controlled systems. Its wide-ranging potential spans...
