Future Innovations

Wearable electronics could be more wearable, according to a research team at Penn State. The researchers have developed a scalable, versatile approach to designing and fabricating wireless, internet-enabled electronic systems that can better adapt to […]

X-ray imaging is useful for seeing inside objects without causing damage, but until now it was not practical for use underwater. Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed the first X-ray imaging system that clearly […]

Northwestern University engineers have developed the first haptic device that achieves “human resolution,” meaning it accurately matches the sensing abilities of the human fingertip.This post was originally published on this site

Virtual keyboards are a frequent source of frustration for augmented reality (AR) users. The virtual surfaces are slow and error prone, and raising an arm to type on them can cause muscle strain known as […]

Traditional deployable systems—relying on pneumatic pumps, electric motors, magnets, or manual assembly—often require bulky power systems or multiple steps. We began exploring whether a simpler, non-electronic alternative was possible using only geometric and material intelligence.This […]

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a next-generation wearable system that enables people to control machines using everyday gestures—even while running, riding in a car or floating on turbulent ocean waves.This […]

The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched between barriers of silicon-germanium-tin (SiGeSn), a structure known as a quantum well, have been studied with a focus on improving lasers and […]

Due to the intense global impact of fossil fuel overuse on air quality and climate, the search for advanced clean energy solutions has become critical. Metal–air batteries offer a game-changing alternative, holding the potential to […]
