A prototype transistor built from molybdenum disulphide and carbon nanotubes rather than silicon could allow power-hungry AIs to run on smartwatches without rapidly draining the battery
Stanley Whittingham, the 2019 Nobel laureate in chemistry, spoke on the sustainable future of lithium-ion batteries — which are used in devices ranging from mobile phones to electric vehicles — at the McCormick School of Engineering’s 50th annual John E. Dorn Lecture on Tuesday. He emphasized the importance of creating a lithium battery industry in...
A search committee has been formed to select the next dean of the McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern announced Tuesday. The selected individual will replace outgoing Dean Julio Ottino, who recently announced his decision to step down at the end of the academic year.
