These advances could include more energy -
efficient field effect transistors and photocatalysts that use visible light from the sun.

Although circuits made with single - walled carbon nanotube are expected to be more energy -
efficient than silicon ones in future, their drawbacks in
field -
effect transistors, such as high power dissipation and less stability, currently limit their applications in printed electronics, according to Dodabalapur.
This new finding implies that the retarding
effect of magnetic
fields in disk formation may not be as
efficient as we thought before,» says Zhi - Yun Li at University of Virginia
High solar activity means a stronger heliospheric magnetic
field and thus a more
efficient screen against GCR, then under the hypothesis underlined above, the reduced GCR flux would promote less clouds amplifying the warming
effect expected from high solar activity.
Karl Sandeman and his co-workers think that their material - a blend of cobalt, manganese, silicon and germanium - could help to usher in a new type of refrigerator that is up to 40 percent more energy -
efficient than conventional models.The «magnetic fridge» envisaged by the Cambridge team would use a phenomenon called the magnetocaloric
effect (MCE), whereby a magnetic
field causes certain materials to get warmer (a positive MCE) or cooler (a negative MCE).
14nm fin
field effect transistors reduce power consumption by up to 35 %, making this smartphone highly
efficient at conserving energy.
