Flexible electronics are a popular research area these days thanks to the many wearable devices on the market. The problem with advancing flexible electronics is that existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing.…

Tired of your traditional smartphone? The University of Bristol has come up with a new kind of modular mobile device that changes its shape on-demand. This isn't the first modular device ever presented to the public, and there are…

Typically we think of electronic devices as structured and rigid — and they have been — until recently. The latest trend in electronics is the need for flexible sensors, antennas, and biomedical devices, as well as the growing popularity of…

Since robots are expected to perform a multitude of tasks that involve fitting into tight spaces and picking up fragile objects, they need to come equipped with some knowledge of their hand's precise location. This is why researchers at…

ProTek Devices has introduced two new circuit protection components that shield a variety of networking, mobile and other computing applications from the destructive effects of electrical transients. The GBLC03CIDNHP is an ultra-low…

Imagine interacting with your wall or desk in the same way you would your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to a mini-projector called Lazertouch, that may actually be a possibility. The Lazertouch, created by China-based Shanghai Easi…

Imagine sending sensors inside of a hurricane to capture all of the data from the middle of the storm? That's what it was like for four NASA  Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, spacecraft when they landed right in the middle of an invisible…

While robots can perform a great number of tasks these days, they're still just clunky machinery incapable of understanding their own strength and with no concept of delicacy. To overcome this, engineers from Northeastern University, …

Since robots can do just about anything, why not send one into the esophagus and stomach to patch wounds or perform other actions. Researchers at MIT, the University of Sheffield, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have used  a…

Browsing through Internet news in the recent months, one recurring theme has been the rise in medical technology and advancements that will propel the medical field to new, unimaginable heights. Just last month, personal aerial vehicle…
