The next generation of wearable computing technology will be even closer to the wearer than a watch or glasses: It will be affixed to the skin.
Briefs: Automotive
Research reveals that expertly timed lasers shined at an approaching LIDAR system can create a blind spot in front of the vehicle.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
To improve efficiency, it is necessary to characterize and reduce flow separation on curved surfaces.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
The work shows the real-world viability of their easy-to-use and inexpensive methods of testing.

2D materials can be packed together more densely than conventional materials, so they could be used to make devices that run faster and perform better.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Scientists have created the first completely digitally manufactured plasma sensors — also known as retarding potential analyzers (RPAs) — for orbiting spacecraft.
Briefs: Wearables
Real-time health monitoring and sensing abilities of robots require soft electronics but a challenge of using such materials lies in their reliability.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Engineers have developed a thin, flexible, stretchy sweat sensor that can show the level of glucose, lactate, sodium, or pH of your sweat — at the press of a finger.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
The sensor can be stretched up to 50 percent with almost the same sensing performance.
Briefs: Medical
Using a suspended nanowire, a research team has created a tiny sensor that can simultaneously measure electrical and mechanical cellular responses in cardiac tissue — a first.
Briefs: Test & Measurement
The research team has been developing very large, detailed models — like their simulations of the San Francisco Bay Area for M7 Hayward fault earthquakes — which has 391 billion model grid points.
Briefs: Connectivity
A new study suggests mobile data collected while traveling over bridges could help evaluate their integrity.
Briefs: Design
The device is 100 percent electrically controllable regarding the colors of light it absorbs, which gives it massive potential for widespread usability.
Briefs: Robotics, Automation & Control
The model allows robots to ask clarifying questions to soldiers.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Potential uses include MEMS accelerometers, vibration monitoring, and other precision motion control applications.
Briefs: Aerospace
The tiny device accurately measures acceleration in smaller navigation systems and other devices.
Briefs: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
Users can download the design files to 3D print and assemble a customizable peristaltic pump.
Briefs: Test & Measurement
Device detects pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation in real time.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition

Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
This set of oculomotor metrics provide valid and reliable measures of dynamic visual performance.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
A new area of artificial intelligence called analog deep learning promises faster computation with a fraction of the energy usage.
Briefs: Robotics, Automation & Control
A team has installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size so that they can walk autonomously.
Briefs: Design
The new system learns directly from visual inputs to let a robot with a two-fingered gripper see, simulate, and shape doughy objects.
Briefs: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
NASA is developing the next generation of spacesuits for future missions.
Briefs: Design
MMS was developed as an add-on to NASA Ames-patented Inductive Monitoring System (IMS), which estimates deviation from normal system operations.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
The LiDAR sensor utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technique to determine the distance to the target and the velocity between the sensor and target.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Compact, Temperature-Tuned OFDR Laser
NASA has focused on OFDR, an alternative FBG interrogation technique based on laser interferometry.
Briefs: Materials
The fibers measure subtle and complex fabric deformations.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Since it is a chemical sensor instead of being enzyme-based, the new technology is robust, has a long shelf-life and can be tuned to detect lower glucose concentrations than current systems.
