Using an Origami Battery to Power a Biosensor

July 16, 2015

Researchers from the University of Binghamton developed a paper-based battery using an origami folding technique to transform 2D sheets of paper into a 3D battery structure.

Optimizing the Production Process for Solar Energy Cells

July 8, 2015

EMIX used simulation to optimize their cold crucible continuous casting process, an integral aspect of photovoltaic solar cell production. Get the full story >>

Optimizing Antenna Design for 5G and the Internet of Things

June 23, 2015

By optimizing the performance of existing mobile device antennas, we can ensure that new technology and devices are ready to operate under the 5G mobile network and internet of things.

App: Evaluating the Design of an Ion Implanter

June 17, 2015

In the semiconductor industry, ion implanters are used to implant dopants into wafers. By building a simulation app, device designers can quickly and easily test a wide range of parameters.

Simulating UHV/CVD and Silicon Growth on a Wafer Substrate

May 25, 2015

Ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV/CVD) is performed at pressures below 10-6 Pa, or about 10-8 torr. In this process, molecular flow is used to achieve gas transport.

Modeling a Stacked Piezoelectric Actuator in a Valve

May 13, 2015

Piezoelectric valves are energy efficient, durable, and fast. You can model a key component of this device responsible for opening and closing the valve: a stacked piezoelectric actuator.

Simulating Analog-to-Digital Microdroplet Dispensers for LOCs

May 11, 2015

University of Bridgeport researchers designed a high-throughput microfluidic droplet dispenser as an analog-to-digital microfluidic converter for use in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) applications.

Simulating Antenna Crosstalk on an Airplane

April 29, 2015

The last airplane you flew aboard most likely had multiple antennas on its fuselage. This creates crosstalk between antennas that can disturb the operation of the aircraft. RF simulation can help.
