Personalizing wearable devices

“When it comes to soft, assistive devices — like the exosuit being designed by the Harvard Biodesign Lab — the wearer and the robot need to be in sync. But every human moves a bit differently and tailoring the robot’s parameters …

Self Snoozing Alarm Clock

“Getting up in the morning is hard. Who hasn’t placed an alarm clock on the other side of the room to try to make themselves get out of bed to turn it off? What if we could make that …

USTC Realizes Small-Packet-and-Long-Distance Quantum Key Distribution

“The round-robin-differential-phase-shift (RRDPS) is a new quantum key distribution protocol proposed by Japanese and American scientists in 2014. This protocol can estimate the information leakage without monitoring signal disturbance parameters, which breaks through the design of quantum key distribution protocol …

Alternative to traditional batteries moves a step closer to reality after exciting progress in supercapacitor technology

“Lithium-ion batteries could be under threat after the development of polymer materials by the Universities of Surrey and Bristol, along with Superdielectrics Ltd, that could challenge the dominance of these traditional batteries. Only one year ago, the partners announced scientific …
