Touching the image of a fish on your smartphone and actually feeling the scales of the real thing ? HAP2U made it possible for you ! This french company developped a system using smart piezo actuators which generate an ultrasonic vibration and controls in real time the friction below...
As embedded intelligence is finding its way into ever more areas of our lives, fields ranging from autonomous driving to personalized medicine are generating huge amounts of data. But just as the flood of data is reaching massive proportions, the ability of computer chips to...
Could we control drones by only using our mind? Nataliya Kosmyna thinks it will be possible...
In China and USA, researchers have developed a skin-like, biocompatible triboelectric nanogenerator that is both highly stretchable and transparent. That object, made by sandwiching a layer of ionic hydrogel (which acts as an electrode) between two elastomer films (which act as an electrification layer), converts mechanical motion into...
An event where Flying Drones met Electrical Karts and 3D Printing. Our team was happy to explore this innovative environment and welcome our new members. A great way to loosen up, get to know each other better and celebrate the team effort we all put together this...
At the University of California, researchers have developed a new material which can fix itself in 24 hours. It's not the first material able to do that but this one is also an electricity conductor. That's mean, it could be use for a tactile screen. According to researchers,...
The Pavagen Technology was created to use people's steps (and weight) in order to produce electricity. Tiles are made from recycled polymers (and truck tires for the top) and hide an electromagnetic system. Power is generated when a footfall compresses the slab and causes electromagnetic induction generators...
