Coating Enables Fabric to Mimic Muscle Movement
The technology may offer opportunities to design "textile muscles" that could be incorporated into clothes, making it easier for people with disabilities to move.
Liquid Crystal Design for Portable Chemical Sensors
Using computational modeling and lab experiments, researchers developed a framework for creating inexpensive liquid-crystal-based chemical sensors.
Self-assembling Perovskite Films: Alternative to GaN in LEDs?
The self-assembly technique yields uniform, ultra-fine-grained films, where previous fabrication processes have not.
Novel Technique for Low-Cost Nanowire Production
The method works at ambient temperature and pressure without the use of catalysts, toxic chemicals or processes such as chemical vapor deposition.
Targeted Search Yields Better Cathode Coating Materials
A new computational design method can help engineers design longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries.
Smart Appliances Deployed in Smart City Project
The appliances will use NarrowBand IOT, an Internet-of-Things communication technology. The smart power control is implemented through embedded connectivity of the devices and uses REstore's cloud analytics.
Augmented Reality Streamlines Spine Surgery
A3D augmented-reality view of the patient’s external and internal anatomy improves procedure planning, surgical tool navigation, and implant accuracy.
Recyclable Display Screens Built from Proteins
A display technology based on luminescent proteins may enable cost-effective, environmentally friendly manufacture of displays for computers, TVs, and mobile devices.
Las Vegas Tests Driverless, Electric Shuttle
The vehicle navigates city streets alongside everyday traffic operates at up to 27 miles per hour but will be limited to 12 mph during the trial period.
Semiconductor Material for Next-gen Power Electronics
A new semiconductor material could pave the way for next-generation, high-voltage-application switches.
Bullseye Design May Expand Sensor’s Potential
A new optoelectronic bullseye device produces a sensor that can be manufactured in a standard commercial foundry. The new device may be easily customizable.
Video Game App May Help Combat Depression
A study found that moderately depressed people may do better with video game apps because the games address or treat specific correlates of depression.
One Language for the IoT
Most IoT devices don't speak the same language even if they use the same wireless technology.
Supercap Could Be Preferred Power Source for Pacemakers
An ultra-thin supercapacitor under development might power a pacemaker for the life of the patient.
Texas Instrument Advanced Automotive Processors
Texas Instruments SoCs support advanced digital features for automobiles.

Decal Electronics Form Flexible Health Sensors
A 3D-printed sensor contains narrow strips of aluminum foil that change conductivity at different bending states.
Analog Devices Acquires Laser Beam Steering Technology
Velodyne's sensors spin at moderately-high RPMs and produce a "point cloud" that gives the car's navigation computer a 360-degree field of view.
Video: DIY Tractor Beam
The portable tractor beam uses one electrical signal and a passive wave modulator, which is a type of acoustic lens that can alter transmitted or reflected waves.
Nanowire Inks for Paper-Based Printable Electronics
A new study by Duke researchers shows that tweaking the shape of the nanoparticles in the ink might just eliminate the need for heat.
