Biosensors empowering robots to detect different odors

A new technological development by Tel Aviv University has made it possible for a robot to smell using a biological sensor. The sensor sends electrical signals as a response to the presence of a nearby odor, which the robot can detect and interpret. In this new study, the researchers successfully connected the biological sensor to Read more about Biosensors empowering robots to detect different odors[…]

Wireless devices also use haptic feedback to talk to patient

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it’s no longer needed. Now, they unveil a new, smart version that is integrated into a coordinated network of four soft, flexible, wireless, wearable sensors and control units placed around the upper body. The Read more about Wireless devices also use haptic feedback to talk to patient[…]

Papertronics – A bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper

Instead of ordering batteries by the pack, we might get them by the ream in the future. Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have created a bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper that can power disposable electronics. The manufacturing technique reduces fabrication time and cost, and the design could revolutionize Read more about Papertronics – A bacteria-powered battery on a single sheet of paper[…]
