Researchers use the ancient art of Kirigami folding to create flexible electronic devices from paper and diversify the applications of next-generation sensors, robots, and diagnostic devices.
Results for "sensors"
The soft touch of intelligent, robotic systems
A new, flexible, and self-powered sensor made by magnetoelectric materials can convert mechanical stimuli to electrical signals for robots with a “soft touch”.
When function follows form: Semiconductors that behave like metals and superconductors
Researchers tune the properties of a known semiconducting material so that it behaves like a metal, with some superconducting behavior, for more efficient electronic devices.
Circular designs made better with spirals
Archimedean spirals for flexible heat actuator-sensor devices.
When chemistry becomes intelligent
An automated microfluidics‐based reaction system provides hands-off synthesis for the modern lab.
A wearable electronic device designed for man’s best friend
A wireless acoustic sensor that can be worn over fur could be especially useful for monitoring the vital stats of working animals such as sniffer dogs.
Developing artificial enzymes using computers
Artificial enzymes promise to not only help us understand the complex functioning of enzymes, but will create a new generation of biosystems for sustainable chemistry practices.
Improving lubricant strength using graphene
Researchers design a porous 3D graphene lubricant composite for harsh conditions and high loads.
Scientists unlock low-cost material from solar cells to manipulate light for industry
Perovskites have been discovered to be a cheap alternative for Faraday rotators.
Searching for a needle in the haystack: Fast screening for new catalysts
Screening an almost infinite number of elemental combinations in search of new alloys for catalysis requires a creative approach.
