​Materials for Energy Harvesting

Date: March 21, 2018

Time: 12:00PM - 01:30PM

You must be registered to participate!

Future society will require materials and methodology for energy harvesting to enable smart systems and embedded automation. As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a reality, there will be need for a trillions of sensors to enable automated intelligence (AI) applications, for example to automate the care-taking operation for aging populations. Changing batteries for these trillion sensors is not feasible, as all of us experience that even recharging batteries of everyday mobile devices is quite challenging. It will be vital to develop energy harvesting materials and technologies that can dynamically harvest energy from surroundings to generate electrical power for sensors and devices. The March, 2018 issue of the MRS Bulletin, will feature articles on the forefront of developing cutting-edge energy harvesting to address these pressing issues.  

The talks in this webinar will expand upon the MRS Bulletin issue, and attendees will be able to interact—in real time—with the webinar presenters.

Future society will require materials and methodologies for energy harvesting to enable smart systems and embedded automation. As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a reality, there will be a need for trillions of sensors to enable automated intelligence applications, for example to automate the care-taking operation for aging populations. There is also a need to effectively power increasingly ubiquitous mobile personal devices which are an integral part of everyday life. Changing batteries for these sensors and devices is not feasible. Even recharging batteries of everyday mobile devices is quite challenging today; imagine recharging or replacing batteries of a trillion devices. Thus, it is vital to develop energy harvesting materials and technologies that can dynamically harvest energy from the surroundings to generate electrical power for sensors and devices.

The March, 2018  issue of the MRS Bulletin, focuses on the forefront of developing cutting-edge energy harvesting to address these pressing issues.  

The talks in this webinar will expand upon the articles in the MRS Bulletin issue, and attendees will be able to interact—in real time—with the webinar presenters.
