Fast data transmission could be delivered in homes and offices through light emitting diode (LED) bulbs, complementing existing communication technologies and networks.

Researchers have developed a new approach to printed electronics that allows ultra-low-power electronic devices which could recharge from ambient light or radiofrequency noise. ̽»¨Ö±²¥approach paves the way for low-cost printed electronics that could be seamlessly embedded in everyday objects and environments.

Researchers from the Cambridge Graphene Centre, together with industrial and academic collaborators within the European Graphene Flagship project, showed that integrated graphene-based photonic devices offer a solution for the next generation of optical communications.

̽»¨Ö±²¥Government have announced £5.4 million in funding to launch the Centre for Digital Built Britain at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, which will help people make better use of cities by championing the digital revolution in the built environment. ̽»¨Ö±²¥Centre is part of a landmark government-led investment in growing the UK’s construction sector.

A new design for transistors which operate on ‘scavenged’ energy from their environment could form the basis for devices which function for months or years without a battery, and could be used for wearable or implantable electronics.

What power can individuals have over their data when their every move online is being tracked? Researchers at the Cambridge Computer Laboratory are building new systems that shift the power back to individual users, and could make personal data faster to access and at much lower cost.
