A sensitive upconversion nanocrystal-based biometric optical tactile sensor instantaneously and quantitatively decomposes dynamic touch signals into individual components of vertical normal and ...

Polyimides (PIs) such as Kapton ® are popular due to their outstanding mechanical properties. However, the re-processability of PIs is limited by their stable imide bonds and the need for high ...

DNA origami tension sensors, created by integrating DNA origami sheets with molecular tension probes, enable the quantification of mechanical forces involved in T cell receptor interactions at ...

Researchers have developed a method to give robots an innate sense of touch by integrating their internal force-torque sensors with machine learning algorithms. The method developed by a team at ...

(U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Mitchell Corley) The F-22 recently tested multiple new sensors as part of the modernization, with plans for a rapid prototyping effort to field them and ...

Roboticists often try to replicate that blanket of sensors for robots through artificial skins, but these can be expensive and ineffective at withstanding impacts or harsh environments.

Other key technological advancements include a Nano-Star Sensor for microsat applications, reaction wheel isolators to reduce vibrations, and innovative thermal management materials such as Kintex ...

The mission’s indigenization effort is evident in its solar cell fabrication processes and the use of a Nano-Star Sensor for Microsat Applications ... Germanium Black Kapton, and STAMET (Si-Al Alloy) ...

Lots of flying wires and Kapton tape, but it all fits. The project’s GitHub page contains a detailed walk-through of the modification process that should enable anyone to reproduce the end result.
