[ad_1] A Stanford research team that recently discovered an unexpected new chemical behavior of water when tiny droplets are formed from water vapor extended the results to natural, everyday water condensation. By Adam Hadhazy In its bulk liquid form, whether in a bathtub or an ocean, water is a relatively …

[ad_1] It’s no exaggeration to say that extendable sensors could change the way soft robots work and feel. In fact, they will be able to try quite a lot. Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor that combines low-cost LEDs and dyes, resulting in a stretchable “skin” that detects deformations …

[ad_1] Georgia Tech lead research scientist Canek Fuentes-Hernandez possesses rigid and flexible large-area organic photodiodes whose performance is comparable to that of silicon-based photodiodes. (Credit: Canek Fuentes-Hernandez, Georgia Tech) The performance of large-area flexible organic photodiodes has advanced to the point where they can now offer advantages over conventional silicon …

[ad_1] This 3D rendering, created from computed tomography scans of the mid-section region of the diabolical armored beetle, was x-rayed at the Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source. This region, known as the medial suture, is where you connect the two halves of the beetle’s exoskeleton. (Credit: Jesus Rivera / UC …
