Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and New York's Columbia University have embedded transistors in a soft, conformable material to create a biocompatible sensor implant that ...

With 5+ years of mattress testing experience, we use our different sleeping position and body type perspectives to offer well-rounded, honest reviews.

We propose a method for simultaneous articulated robot posture estimation and environmental mapping by integrating data from proximity sensors distributed over the whole body. Our method extends the ...

Over the years, we’ve tested over 120 beds to determine the best soft mattresses that blend comfort with a sprinkling of support. Plush and cloud-like, these beds are built to cradle sensitive ...

This letter introduces a novel soft gripper integrating a movable variable stiffness mechanism and embedded soft sensors to overcome these challenges. The gripper locally modulates stiffness, allowing ...

Electronic nose (E-nose) systems are devices designed to detect and identify various gases, mimicking the human sense of smell. One of the significant challenges faced by these systems is sensor ...

Soft materials are materials that can be easily deformed by thermal stresses or thermal fluctuations at about room temperature. Soft materials include liquids, polymers, foams, gels, colloids ...

They want leaders, communicators and critical thinkers. In contrast to "hard" or technical skills that are applicable to specific roles — like coding, data analysis or social media management — soft ...
