Stretchable Sensor Provides Skin-Like Sensation to Robots, AR/VR
Researchers at Cornell University have created fiber-optic sensor that can detect sensations like pressure, strain, and bending, much like human skin. The sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, could […]
Implantable Sensor Measures Gases Inside the Body and Then Safely Biodegrade
Researchers at Penn State have developed a highly sensitive flexible gas sensor that can be implanted in the body — and, after it’s no longer needed, safely biodegrade into materials […]
MIT Researchers Develop Skin-Like Device That Can Help ALS Patients Communicate
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) affects the nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movements such as walking and talking. As a result, ALS patients often lose the ability to speak, making […]
Artificial Electronic Skin Senses Pain, Temperature As Fast As Human Skin
Researchers at RMIT University in Australia have developed electronic artificial skin that reacts to pain just like human skin. The wearable sticker-like device can clear the way for better prosthetics, […]
Scientists Develop Wearable Vibration Sensor That Precisely Recognizes Your Voice
Voice-recognition is a common feature in smartphones available in the market today. Often times, this feature doesn’t work properly due to surrounding noise and other obstacles. This is because a […]
UC-Berkeley Researchers Develop Flexible Sensor to Map Blood-Oxygen Levels Across the Body
Researchers at the University of California Berkeley have developed a flexible sensor that can map blood-oxygen levels over large areas of skin, tissue and organs, potentially giving doctors a new […]
