Medgadget: Researchers at Cornell University have developed stretchable sensors that can detect sensations such as strain, pressure, and bending, much like human skin. Deformation is measured through changes in optical paths within the flexible fiber optic sensors. By providing a…
IEEE Spectrum: “Do you smell smoke?” It was three days before the qualification deadline for the Virtual Tunnel Circuit of the DARPA Subterranean Challenge Virtual Track, and our team was barrelling through last-minute updates to our robot controllers in a small…
IEEE Spectrum: A thin holographic display could one day enable 4K 3-D videos on mobile devices as well as household and office electronics, Samsung researchers and their colleagues say. Conventional holograms are photographs that, when illuminated, essentially act like 2D windows…
C&EN: Researchers have converted natural wood into flexible, strong, water-repellent films that glow in different colors. The luminescent films could lead to more sustainable alternatives to the glass and plastic used in today’s lights and displays. They could also find…
