Fusing data from multiple moving cameras helps robots generate realistic 3D maps of their surroundings.
Results for "sensors"
Sensor translates sign language into audio
With the help of machine learning, a skin-like sensor internalizes different stimuli, allowing it to read and interpret hand movement.
Energy generated in the blink of an eye
A tiny battery built into smart contact lenses produces its own power through eye blinking, relying on tears and oxygen to power its cells.
Facial movement allows hands-free control of devices
Sensors developed to respond to jaw movement can be connected wirelessly to different devices for hands-free control.
How seals’ whiskers help them hunt
Scientists reveal the highly sensitive nature of seal whiskers, which enable them to hunt effectively even in poor visual conditions.
Science in pictures
Dehumidifying pendants, the origins of olfactory neurons, microspectrometers, and transforming cancer agents.
Pesticide detection improved using flame spray technique
The new sensors reliably and uniformly detected molecular signals, and their performance remained intact when tested again after two and a half months.
Miniature fuel-cells for implantable medical devices
To power next generation chip based medical implants, power sources need to be miniscule and perpetual.
Making stickier tape
A new surface treatment enhances the adhesion of double-sided tape to make stickier tapes for soft electronics.
How do you make an electronic nose smart?
A smart electronic nose that mimics the human nose with its millions of receptor cells and ability to differentiate smells.
