    Electrical and electronics engineering research from universities across the U.S. shared their findings and celebrated some of the most significant achievements in electrical engineering during a three-day symposium on UB’s campus, last month.

  • Study: New electrocatalyst offers hope for less expensive hydrogen fuel
    6/3/22

    It could reduce industry’s reliance on expensive platinum, which has hindered the growth of fuel cell electric vehicles, green power generation and more.

  • These transistor gates are just one carbon atom thick
    3/15/22
    IEEE Spectrum quoted Huamin Li, assistant professor of electrical engineering, in a story about a transistor with a record-breaking gate length of just roughly one-third of a nanometer wide, only as thick as a single layer of carbon atoms, shedding light on how much smaller transistors can possibly get.
  • Atoms-thick transistors get faster using less power
    12/23/20
    IEEE Spectrum interviews Huamin Li, assistant professor of electrical engineering, about new transistor technology. The article reports that by combining graphene and molybdenum disulfide, researchers have made a transistor that operates at half the voltage and has a higher current density than any state-of-the-art 2D transistor previously under development.
