The foam is able to better sense the proximity of human presence compared with other commonly used e-skin materials such as silicones. [ + ]
Perovskite solar modules break a world record
Researchers have produced perovskite solar modules with minimal scaling loss, combining laser-based series interconnections with vacuum processing of all layers of the solar cell. [ + ]
Compact device converts infrared light into images
The imager detects a part of the infrared spectrum called shortwave infrared light (wavelengths from 1000 to 1400 nm), which is right outside of the visible spectrum. [ + ]
Smart finger ring features an integrated RFID chip
The multifunctional ring could be used for paying for goods at the checkout, unlocking doors, acting as a health insurance card and more. [ + ]
The end of just-in-time for electronics manufacturing
We are used to the cycle of shortage and supply in electronics, though the current one is of a magnitude we have not witnessed before. [ + ]
Thermoelectric generators to power wearable devices
Scientists from the Harbin Institute of Technology have developed a small, flexible device that can convert heat emitted from human skin to electrical power. [ + ]
