Researchers have developed a living plant-based sensor that can in real-time detect and monitor levels of arsenic, a highly toxic heavy metal, in the soil.
Researchers have built an ultralow-power consumption artificial visual system to mimic the human brain, which successfully performed data-intensive cognitive tasks. Their experiment results could provide a promising device system for the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
By exploiting a particular property of light diffraction at the interface between a glass and a liquid, researchers have demonstrated optical tweezers capable of trapping nanoparticles.
For the first time, researchers havedeveloped a biomimetic sticky liquid metal ink that can be written on any surface with a ballpoint pen. The preparation of the ink takes inspiration from the sticky substances secreted by various marine organisms to survive under strong tidal forces by attaching themselves onto solid surfaces. The concept demonstrated in this study will provide a new avenue for next-generation electronics, sensors and functional devices.
