Novel Algorithm on Wearable Devices May Prompt Early Care
Researchers developed a novel software algorithm to analyze pulse rate signals and infer the presence of atrial fibrillation on one brand of wearables.
Briefs: AR/AI
The team compared its AI approach, known as virtual native enhancement, with contrast-enhanced CMR scans now used to monitor hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common genetic heart condition.
Briefs: Imaging
The models allow users to optimize X-ray radiography setups, for the detection of crack and crack-like flaws, to penetrate various materials to show internal structures of parts.
Briefs: Manufacturing & Prototyping
Simulations teach a neural network how to adjust printing parameters to minimize error, and then apply that controller to a real 3D printer. The system printed objects more accurately than all the other 3D-printing controllers they compared it to.
Briefs: Materials
The innovation opens the door for faster and more affordable at-home medical testing.
Briefs: Communications
The new NIST instrument captures waves in action by relying on a device known as an optical interferometer.
Briefs: Photonics/Optics
Enter the frequency comb, a Nobel Prize-winning device and the result of decades of research from NIST and others. The comb generates a billion pulses of light per second, which bounce back and forth inside an optical cavity.
Briefs: Imaging
A group of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has created a new method for improving the resolution of hard X-ray nanotomography.
Briefs: Imaging
The design produces a compact, efficient, long-lifetime laser transmitter as needed for use in space, while also having potential applications as an airborne or ground-based wind measurement tool.
Briefs: Manufacturing & Prototyping
To benchmark performance of printed sensors against the state of the art, NASA has developed a low-power flexible sensor platform.
Briefs: Lighting
But they’re not yet small enough to compete in computing and other applications where electric circuits continue to reign.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
The technology allows for higher surface conductivity, improved impedance control, expanded design and application potential, and greater choice of materials for optimized performance.
Briefs: Lighting
The OLEDs are fabricated onto temporary tattoo paper and transferred to a new surface by being pressed onto it and dabbed with water.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
The biofilm has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics, powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.
Articles: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Wireless sensors are critical for the IIoT, but they need long-term, reliable battery power.
Articles: Connectivity
Compound semiconductors will play an ever more important role in the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) into 5G territory.
Products: Connectivity
The new products for October 2022, including silicon diode thermometry, a current sensor simulator, and more.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
Some wearable devices are already capable of measuring pulse rates or temperatures, but this team’s method would allow the technology to sense biomarkers related to metabolic disorders, like heart disease or diabetes.
Application Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
More than 80 percent of manufacturers experienced at least one instance of unplanned downtime during the past three years, and a single factory can lose $2.3 million annually due to unplanned stoppages.
Application Briefs: Photonics/Optics
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) continues to enable exciting scientific advances that help us better understand the universe.
Briefs: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
Researchers have taken inspiration from origami to create inflatable structures that can bend, twist, and move in complex, distinct ways from a single source of pressure.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
An open-access study in Advanced Science outlines the process by which Preston and lead author Faye Yap harnessed a spider’s physiology in a first step toward a novel area of research they call “necrobotics.”
Quiz: Electronics & Computers
How did this computer revolution happen? Who were some of the pioneers? How long has it taken to get here?
INSIDER: Robotics, Automation & Control
A collaborative effort has installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size — smaller than an ant’s head — so that they can walk autonomously without...

The UA team aims to design a motorless sailplane that can soar over the Martian surface for days at a time, using only wind for propulsion.
Q&A: Energy
Dr. Brandon Ennis, Sandia National Laboratories’ offshore wind technical lead, had a radically new idea for offshore wind turbines: instead of a tall unwieldy tower, with blades at the top, he imagined a towerless turbine with blades pulled taut like a bow.
