Self-sensing materials will find a range of applications from tissue engineering to building lightweight aircraft.
Technology
Robotic eyes unconstrained by human perception
Forcing robots to see through a human’s eyes is limiting. Smart robotic eyes that can think for themselves could be the answer.
Pesticide detection improved using flame spray technique
The new sensors reliably and uniformly detected molecular signals, and their performance remained intact when tested again after two and a half months.
Making stickier tape
A new surface treatment enhances the adhesion of double-sided tape to make stickier tapes for soft electronics.
How do you make an electronic nose smart?
A smart electronic nose that mimics the human nose with its millions of receptor cells and ability to differentiate smells.
Continual learning, just like humans
An in-memory computing prototype provides a promising solution for edge computing systems to implement continual learning.
Image fraud gets a boost from AI
Deepfakes in the biomedical literature are coming, if they aren’t here already.
3D printing medicines at speed
Using light-based polymerization, researchers have reduced the amount of time needed to 3D print certain medicines from minutes to seconds.
Nanobots used for better root canal treatment
Disinfecting nanobots could be the key to preventing the failure of root canal fillings post-treatment.
3D printing the perfect piece of chocolate
Researchers explore how manipulating the properties of chocolate metamaterials can change our enjoyment of it.
