Our new work on light-intensity switching of a #synaptic device has been published in AdvancedScience. Congratulations @HongyuTang and @EPFL_tarique and great thanks to MinSeokJang @kaistpr for the collaboration! @EPFL_en@snsf_ch https://t.co/GeBSmoGzwb
Our researchers have discovered that nanoscale devices harnessing the hydroelectric effect can harvest electricity from the evaporation of fluids with higher ion concentrations than purified water, revealing a vast untapped energy potential.

Salinity-dependent interfacial phenomena toward hydrovoltaic device optimization by Tarique Anwar
and Giulia Tagliabue

Highlights:
• Ion-concentration-dependent surface charge and ion mobility lead to more VOC peaks
• A high power density output of 8 μW/cm2 at 0.1 M is demonstrated
• Evidence of ion adsorption and charge inversion for several monovalent cations
• Geometrical asymmetries in the device structure augment hydrovoltaic performance
EPFL's Nanophotonics Summer School was a great success last week. Experts from around the world came to share knowledge on critical issues and students presented their new ideas for startups and grants https://t.co/NMmsYzkfXO #epfl

Happy birthday to the co-inventor of graphene, Andre Geim.
Geim and his co-laureate Konstantin Novoselov often used Fridays to carry out quirky experiments they didn't have the time to do during their research projects. One of these Fridays in 2004 they invented graphene.
