University of Michigan engineers create centimeter-sized robots capable of more than ever before. Origami principles can unlock the potential of the smallest robots, enhancing speed, agility and control in machines no more…
Simplified circuit design could revolutionise how wearables are manufactured
Researchers have demonstrated the use of a ground-breaking circuit design that could transform manufacturing processes for wearable technology. Silicon-based electronics have aggressively become smaller and more efficient over a short period of…
‘Drawn-on-Skin’ Electronics Offer Breakthrough in Wearable Monitors
A team of researchers at the University of Houston, has developed a new form of electronics known as “drawn-on-skin electronics,” allowing multifunctional sensors and circuits to be drawn on the skin with…
Faster LEDs for Wireless Communications from Invisible Light
Researchers have solved a major problem for optical wireless communications – the process by which light carries information between cell phones and other devices. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) pulse their light in a…
“Giant atoms” enable quantum processing and communication in one
MIT researchers have introduced a quantum computing architecture that can perform low-error quantum computations while also rapidly sharing quantum information between processors. The work represents a key advance toward a complete quantum…
