Researchers discover method to control quantum effect that could enable battery-free electronics
Summary
Scientists from QUT and Nanyang Technological University have discovered a way to control the nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE), a quantum phenomenon that can convert alternating electrical signals from the environment directly into usable current without batteries. The research shows that microscopic imperfections and atomic vibrations in advanced materials can be used to tune this effect, with the signal even capable of flipping direction based on temperature changes. This breakthrough could potentially power electronic devices without traditional batteries in the future.
