“Bioinspired soft actuator crawls without rigid parts Now, a team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has developed a soft robot that uses those same principles of locomotion to crawl without …

Stretchable electronics a ‘game changer’ for stroke recovery treatment

“A groundbreaking new wearable designed to be worn on the throat could be a game changer in the field of stroke rehabilitation. Developed in the lab of Northwestern University engineering professor John A. Rogers, in partnership with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab …

UBC engineers advance the capability of wearable tech

“A new low-cost ultra-stretchable sensor can do more with less Creating the perfect wearable device to monitor muscle movement, heart rate and other tiny bio-signals without breaking the bank has inspired scientists to look for a simpler and more affordable …

‘Memtransistor’ Brings World Closer to Brain-like Computing

“Combined memristor and transistor can process information and store memory with one device Computer algorithms might be performing brain-like functions, such as facial recognition and language translation, but the computers themselves have yet to operate like brains. “Computers have separate …

Simplify Industrial-Grade Linux Designs with SAMA5D2 MPU-Based System On Module (SOM)

“There is a great deal of design effort and complexity associated with creating an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU)-based system running a Linux® operating system. Even developers with expertise in the area spend a lot of time on PCB layout to …

Using a laser to wirelessly charge a smartphone safely across a room

“Although mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones let us communicate, work and access information wirelessly, their batteries must still be charged by plugging them in to an outlet. But engineers at the University of Washington have for the first …
