Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

When a stroke or a vocal cord injury strips someone of the ability to speak, the simplest interactions become exhausting.

The Ikhana unmanned aircraft system has been used by NASA last year to fight wildfires from the sky and this month to provide images of current Californian wildfires to authorities (link to NASA ...

United States Air Force Test Pilot School partnered with the 586th Flight Test Squadron at Holloman AFB and NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center to test the new use case of the AgilePod using a ...

For decades, people with diabetes have relied on finger pricks to withdraw blood or adhesive microneedles to measure and manage their glucose levels. In addition to being painful, these methods can ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an optical computing framework that performs large-scale nonlinear computations using linear materials. Subscribe to our ...
