Scientists Design Novel Nonlinear Circuit to Harvest Clean Power Using Graphene - UARK PRESS RELEASE
A team of physicists led by Dr. Paul Thibado has published new Graphene Energy Harvesting research. This latest publication builds on two previous studies and challenges Dr. Richard Feynman’s assertion that Brownian motion cannot perform useful work.
NTS NAMED INNOVATOR OF THE YEAR
NTS was named “Innovator of the Year” as part of the 2021 Excellence in Business Awards hosted by Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce. The event recognizes outstanding organizations in the community who display excellence.
NTS EXPANDS INTO INNOVATION CENTER
NTS Innovations is expanding into the Innovation Center at the University of Arkansas (UARK) Research and Technology Park. The company currently has a hub in UARK’s GENESIS Technology Incubator, but the move to the Innovation Center will provide a larger footprint and additional testing capabilities.
Tom Buzzell NAMED NTS COO
NTS Innovations has named Thomas (Tom) Buzzell as its Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Tom will provide leadership and strategic vision to the organization, oversee operational, managerial, and administrative procedures, and ensure day-to-day operational excellence. Additionally, Tom will help form strategic partnerships and drive key business growth as the company develops its first generation Graphene Energy Harvesting (GEH) chips.
NTS SELECTED FOR AFWERX RE-IMAGINING ENERGY CHALLENGE
NTS was selected to showcase at the AFWERX Re-Imagining Energy Challenge for the Department of Defense. The showcase took place in February 2021 and featured solutions from innovators across the energy sector. As the challenge name alludes, the DoD is currently the largest energy consumer globally, both operationally – training, moving, and sustaining the armed forces – and powering, heating, and cooling its installations. By reducing demand and reliance on petroleum and modernizing the energy infrastructure, the force can improve energy security, increase sustainability, and remain adaptable to the future and impacts of climate change.
PHYSICISTS BUILD CIRCUIT THAT GENERATES CLEAN, LIMITLESS POWER FROM GRAPHENE - UARK PRESS RELEASE
A team of University of Arkansas physicists has successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene's thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current.
The findings, titled "Fluctuation-induced current from freestanding graphene," and published in the journal Physical Review E, are proof of a theory the physicists developed at the U of A three years ago that freestanding graphene — a single layer of carbon atoms — ripples and buckles in a way that holds promise for energy harvesting.
