Sensors
How do you power billions of sensors? By converting waste heat into electricity
Researchers at Osaka University are helping to power portable sensors that do not use batteries by generating electricity from heat that is otherwise wasted.
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”.
Circular designs made better with spirals
Archimedean spirals for flexible heat actuator-sensor devices.
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.
Wearable electronic contact lenses as non-invasive brain sensors
Smart contact lenses could revolutionize the way in which we monitor brain activity and diagnose neurological diseases.
Printable sensors to enable data transmission by light
Color-selective organic light sensors are produced by inkjet printing with semiconducting inks.
