6G Communications WIET and RF Eliminating Batteries
Wireless information and energy transfer WIET typically works without energy storage. A conventional assumption made in the design of communication systems is that the energy used to transfer information between a sender and a recipient cannot be reused for future communication tasks. There are, however, notable exceptions.

Painting with Semiconductors
Researchers have developed a reactive ink that can be painted on an equally reactive canvas. The ink reacts with the material on the canvas to become a semiconductor that emits colored light, an essential part of electronic components such as LEDs. Consequently, a new way of producing these electronic components is now within reach.
