The ideal material for interfacing electronics with living tissue is soft, stretchable, and just as water-loving as the tissue itself—in short, a hydrogel. Semiconductors, the key materials for bioelectronics such as pacemakers,...
Researchers at Tampere University have developed the world's first soft touchpad that can sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity. The device utilizes pneumatic channels, enabling its use in environments such as...
Today's 3D printers make it fairly easy to conjure, say, a chess set into existence. But these printers are largely fixed in place. So if someone wants to add 3D-printed elements to a room—a footrest beneath a desk, for instance—the...
Recent technological advances have opened new valuable opportunities for assisting senior adults and individuals with physical disabilities. For instance, they have enabled the development of new interactive systems designed that can...
If a phone or other electronic device were made of soft materials, how would that change its use? Would it be more durable? If hospital health monitoring equipment were made of less rigid components, would it make it easier for patients...
Two new kinds of on-skin electronics created by Cornell University researchers allow users to build and customize them directly on the body—with potential applications in biometric sensing, medical monitoring, interactive prosthetic...
A breakthrough in hybrid patch technology promises to prevent cracks while maintaining robust adhesion without the use of chemical adhesives. This innovation is anticipated to drive advancements in wearable devices, virtual reality (VR)...
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are neuromorphic transistors made of carbon-based materials that combine both electronic and ionic charge carriers. These transistors could be particularly effective solutions for amplifying...
For Deaf people, train travel can be a gamble. On an average day, nothing goes wrong: they catch their train to their destination and carry on with their business.
The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked concerns about the diminishing value of traditional art forms and the potential for substitution. Nonetheless, through their fusion, they offer new avenues for conserving...
Northwestern University engineers have developed a new system for full-body motion capture—and it doesn't require specialized rooms, expensive equipment, bulky cameras or an array of sensors.
The future of wireless technology—from charging devices to boosting communication signals—relies on the antennas that transmit electromagnetic waves becoming increasingly versatile, durable and easy to manufacture. Researchers at Drexel...
Sometimes, we try to capture a QR code with a good digital camera on a smartphone, but the reading eventually fails. This usually happens when the QR code itself is of poor image quality, or if it has been printed on surfaces that are...
Multimaterial 3D printing enables makers to fabricate customized devices with multiple colors and varied textures. But the process can be time-consuming and wasteful because existing 3D printers must switch between multiple nozzles,...
Form Energy, a company that is beginning to produce a longer-lasting alternative to lithium batteries, hit a milestone Wednesday with an announcement of $405 million in funding.
A pair of electrical engineers at Distance University of Madrid, working with a colleague from Mision Critica-Data Center, ZFB Technology Services, in Columbia, has developed a methodology for generating electricity from man-made wind...
Amazon has revealed new technology that it says will help delivery drivers avoid organizing packages at stops or manually check to see if they have the right parcel for each delivery.
As pedestrian fatalities in the United States reach a 40-year high, a novel approach to measuring crosswalk lengths across entire cities could provide urban planners with crucial data to improve safety interventions.
Researchers at Concordia have developed a novel method of 3D printing that uses acoustic holograms. And they say it's quicker than existing methods and capable of making more complex objects.
