Electronic devices that can be attached to the skin or even implanted in the body will become more and more prevalent in near-future technology. Such "implantable bioelectronics" are envisaged as having a wide range of uses ...
Seeing other people break rules can make us act out in ways that we wouldn't on our own. Applying this psychological concept to fields like conservation could help explain why social influence causes people to make decisions ...
The invention of the printing press revolutionized duplication of the written word, giving the hands of tired scribes a break and making written material more accessible. A similar breakthrough has happened in reverse in ...
A research group led by Prof. Li Runwei at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a "slight cross-linking" method that imparts elastic recovery ...
For over a decade, teams have been working to design and prepare for the rebirth of the APS. Now, the moment is here.
Wearable sensors are becoming a promising tool in personalized health care and exercise monitoring. In a recent study, researchers from Japan have developed a novel wearable chemical sensor capable of measuring the concentration ...
A new study by researchers at the University of Cambridge reveals a surprising discovery that could transform the future of electrochemical devices. The findings offer new opportunities for the development of advanced materials ...
Currently much of the research on nanocomposite-based sensors is related to non-sustainable materials. This means that these devices contribute to plastic waste when they are no longer in use. A new study, published on 28 ...
Using nanomagnets composites and conductive yarn, scientists have invented a smart textile that can sense and measure body movements—from muscles flexing to veins pulsing. The device, presented on June 27 in the journal ...
Thomas Edison famously tried hundreds of materials and failed thousands of times before discovering that carbonized cotton thread burned long and bright in an incandescent light bulb. Experiments are often time-consuming ...
