Columbia Engineers first to demonstrate a robotic finger with a highly precise sense of touch over a complex, multicurved surface. Researchers at Columbia Engineering announced today that they have introduced a new type of robotic finger…

Continued improvements in body armor have meant soldiers’ lungs are much better protected from blast waves during explosions. Pulmonary trauma, which will cause death long before even minor brain damage occurs, has been greatly decreased as…

Technology has the potential to transform the way traditional tasks are taken on-- tasks like-- diaper changes, even. MIT researchers have developed a "smart" diaper embedded with a moisture sensor that can alert a caregiver when a…

Because conventional magnetic sensor circuits are made of silicon-based hard electronic elements, integrated on a substrate, they can only be placed on flat surfaces. As hard as glass, they’re obviously not suitable for all potential sensor…

For over 30 years, leading cave divers have attempted to further explore the full extent of the world's largest subterranean lake at Dragon's Breath Cave, gigantic water-filled cavern beneath the Kalahari Desert, but have been repeatedly…

But first — What is elastic-wave intelligent sensing? The new, but complicated technology is a combination of mechanical waves generated and propagated within any rigid objects when those objects are touched, tapped, or hit. The…

With the 2018 U.S. wheat market was worth 9.7 billion, it makes sense wheat and other grain farmers have invested in new technology as soon as it was available. Now, however, the use of agricultural drones is expanding, and one…

Sensor-solutions provider, ams will be showing off some new products at CES 2020: the NanoVision and NanoBerry evaluation kits, which provide a ready-made platform for the development of innovative solutions based on the ams NanEyeC…

Did you know that development of sophisticated devices in the consumer markets and nearly all industrial fields is primarily driven by the development of an assortment of technologies that make machines cognizant of their environment and…

From helping in the search for life on exoplanets to triggering chemical reactions, diamond anvil cells have been called “scientific workhorses.” Whether helping scientists recreate extreme phenomena or enabling chemical reactions that…
