Organic electronics: Scientists develop a high-performance unipolar n-type thin-film transistor

Researchers at Tokyo Tech report a unipolar n-type transistor with a world-leading electron mobility performance of up to 7.16 cm² V^–1 s^–1. This achievement heralds an exciting future for organic electronics, including the development of innovative flexible displays and wearable technologies.

Putting that free energy around you to good use with minuscule energy harvesters

Scientists at Tokyo Tech developed a micro-electromechanical energy harvester that allows for more flexibility in design, which is crucial for future IoT applications.

More is better when coordinating with others, according to new study

Researchers at Tokyo Tech, Imperial College London and the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that physical coordination is more beneficial in larger groups.

Planning ahead: A new robust approach for minimizing costs in power-distribution networks

Scientists at Tokyo Tech have developed a new method for scheduling the turning on and off of power generators that minimizes costs and ensures reliability while addressing the issues prevalent in multiple previous methods.

Tinier and less power-hungry quantum atomic clock push toward intelligent IoT

Scientists at Tokyo Tech, Ricoh co. and The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology have developed an ultra-low-power atomic clock (ULPAC) for small satellites to enable future communication systems beyond 5G. The proposed device outperforms the current industry standards in various benchmarks, such as size, stability, and power consumption.

ELSI of Tokyo Tech Research suggests Life Thrived on Earth 3.5 Billion Years Ago

3.5 billion years ago Earth hosted life, but was it barely surviving, or thriving? A new study carried out by a multi institutional team with leadership including the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) provides new answers to this question.

The Next Frontier for Planetary and Human Exploration

In January 2019, fifty scientists from thirty institutes across the world, led by Dr. Vlada Stamenković from JPS/NASA, including Dr. Atsuko Kobayashi and Prof. Joe Kirschvink from ELSI, published an invited commentary on the next frontier for planetary and human exploration in Nature Astronomy.
