New knit haptic sleeve simulates realistic touch
Researchers at Stanford Engineering have developed a lightweight, comfortable knit sleeve that uses pressure-based haptics to simulate touch, opening up new possibilities for wearable devicesWearable haptic devices, which provide touch-based feedback, can provide more realistic experiences in virtual reality, assist with rehabilitation,...
Strain gauges sense wind on biomimetic aerial robots
Opening up a new flight control strategy for flying robots, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99 percent accuracy using seven strain gauges on a flexible flapping wing and a convolutional neural network...
Magnetic shape-shifting surface can move stuff without grasping it
A “ferromagnetic elastomer” sheet can bulge and bend under magnetic influencesWhen you want to move an object from one place to another, you usually grab it with your hands or a robotic arm. But what if you want to move something you...
Tabletop precision Lasers for Quantum Science
“These smaller lasers will enable scalable laser solutions for actual quantum systems, as well as lasers for portable, field-deployable and space-based quantum sensors”For experiments that require ultra-precise measurements and control over atoms — think two-photon atomic clocks, cold-atom interferometer sensors and quantum...
