New discovery allows 3D printing of sensors directly on expanding organs

In groundbreaking new research, mechanical engineers and computer scientists have developed a 3D printing technique that uses motion capture technology, similar to that used in Hollywood movies, to print electronic sensors directly on organs that are expanding and contracting.

Can metallic metasurfaces be used for terahertz nanofilm sensing?

Scientists have proposed a toroidal dipole (TD) bound states in the continuum (BIC) inspired Fano resonance metasurface, exhibiting both TD and BIC feature in the same structure.

Self-powered 'paper chips' could help sound an early alarm for forest fires

Researchers have developed self-powered 'paper chips' that sense early fires and relay a signal.

Macroscopic quantum interference in an ultra-pure metal

Although the subtle laws of quantum mechanics, that is, wave mechanics, ultimately govern all the processes of electron transportelectrons in solids, their wave-like nature of the electrons is not often apparent to the casual observer. A classical picture of electrons as solid particles goes surprisingly far in explaining electric currents in metals.
