By accurately detecting moisture levels, this artificial leaf sensor could help increase crop yields while reducing the need for pesticides.
Results for "sensors"
An inanimate material capable of voice recognition
A thin film composed of small magnetic whirls called skyrmions performs voice pattern recognition with an accuracy approaching 99%.
Weaving a new flexible energy harvesting technique for wearable tech
A new triboelectric laminate can convert movement to electricity 400 times more efficiently in wearable and implantable technologies.
Crawling Earthworm robots get a soft polymer boost
The replacement of rigid parts could help robots more closely mimic the humble worm to help them squeeze into tight spots.
Snapping metacaps propel soft robot design
An innovative design allows for sensitive soft robots that can navigate difficult tasks and environments without bulky sensors.
The ins and outs of an undergrad-run journal
Students at Rutgers University have set up a scientific journal that exclusively features undergraduate research papers.
Robots with involuntary behaviors seem more natural
Modeling involuntary aspects of human behavior, such as blinking or even jet lag, might help build trust in robot-human interactions.
Impact sensor to measure the force of headers
Even light blows from heading a soccer ball can contribute to long term brain injury, highlighting the need for collecting precise data.
Bio-inspired robotic eyes that better estimate motion
Event cameras mimic the human eye to allow robots to navigate their environment, and a new approach helps minimize computational costs.
Entangling particles helps improve the accuracy of quantum measurements
Using 19 different quantum computers, scientists demonstrate how entangled particles break limitations in accuracy on the sub-atomic scale.
