“Producing effective epidermal electronics requires a strong, biocompatible interface between a biological surface and a sensor. Here, a KAIST team employed a calcium-modified silk fibroin as a biocompatible and strong adhesive. This technology led to the development of epidermal electronics …
“Particles in quantum states defy classic physics by existing in multiple locations at the same time Quantum effects are routinely observed in isolated systems, but more difficult to spot in the ‘noisier’ real world New test could help reveal if …
“Managing vitamin absorption and avoiding sun damage could soon be as simple as slipping on a bracelet thanks to new personalised sensors. RMIT researchers have developed an ultraviolet (UV) active ink that changes colour when exposed to different types of …
“Article in nature electronics: Thermoelectric devices become quicker, more reliably and suitable for integration in microchips. Thermoelectric materials can convert heat into electricity or, vice versa, can be used as environmentally friendly cooling elements. In many processes in everyday life …
“An algorithm that remembers previous explorations in Montezuma’s Revenge and Pitfall! could make computers and robots better at learning how to succeed in the real world. A new kind of machine-learning algorithm just mastered a couple of throwback video …
“X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy at NSLS-II’s CSX beamline used to understand electrical conductivity transitions in magnetite By using an x-ray technique available at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), scientists found that the metal-insulator transition in …
“Volvo Trucks has just signed a landmark agreement with Brønnøy Kalk AS in Norway to provide its first commercial autonomous solution transporting limestone from an open pit mine to a nearby port. The solution for Brønnøy Kalk AS consists of …
“New photonic crystal waveguide based on topological insulators paves the way to build futuristic light-based computers Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a device that can direct photons of light around sharp corners with virtually no losses due to backscattering …
“Computerized design reveals how honeycomb-like frameworks with unusual rippled shapes can produce buckle-resistant architectures Composite panels that sandwich a porous inner core between two solid outer sheets are increasingly being used in aircraft to reduce weight while maintaining structural rigidity …
“HZDR researchers use sensors to give humans magnetoception While birds are able to naturally perceive the Earth’s magnetic field and use it for orientation, humans have so far not come close to replicate this feat – at least, until now …
