New Technique for 3D Printing Actuators, Sensors, and Hair
Although today’s 3D printers are capable of some amazing things, researchers in MIT’s Media Lab are rethinking the technology and expanding its capabilities. They have found a way to bypass a time-intestive step in 3D printing so that hair-like structures can be printed. They have used their new technique to print “hairs” that can perform sensing, adhesion, and actuation.
Electric Motors Monitor Themselves without Sensors
It’s not unusual for motors to be loaded with sensors that help monitor a machine’s performance. However, as much as the sensors help with maintenance, they are also prone to failure. Faulty sensors can cause d... Read More...
Sensor Detects Cable Fire Before it Starts Burning
A team of German researchers developed a sensor that can detect a cable fire before there is any noticeable smell or discoloration. The so-called hybrid sensor has the ability to both detect and analyze gases t... Read More...
Engineers Develop Mouth Guard for Monitoring Health
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a sensor that can be embedded in a mouth guard to monitor health markers in saliva and transmit the information wirelessly. The technology al... Read More...
New Sensor Improves Listening Skills for Computers
Anyone who has used Apple’s Siri would likely agree that today's voice-activated technology is far from perfect. While most people are good at focusing on a single voice and ignoring background noise, computers... Read More...
