Soft robotics, which uses flexible and deformable materials, is an emerging field in autonomous systems. It has recently been applied to next-generation tasks such as deep-sea sampling with soft robotic grippers—requiring strong adhesion and autonomous […]

Ice has a proven track record when it comes to cooling drinks in the summer, so why not take it a step further? A big step, in fact, as thermal energy storage systems, often called […]

Pressure sensors are crucial in many emerging applications, but traditional designs are often bulky or inflexible. In a recent study, researchers from Japan developed a fiber-shaped pressure sensor that overcomes this limitation by increasing—rather than […]

As industries including coal chemical processing, oil and gas refining, and semiconductor manufacturing undergo technological upgrading, the demand for advanced air filtration technologies and materials has surged—driven by the dual need to safeguard production processes […]

Researchers at The University of Osaka have developed a novel technique to enhance the performance and reliability of silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices, a key component in power electronics. This breakthrough utilizes a unique […]

A NIMS research team has discovered that the fatigue limit of steel is improved by prior cyclic deformation (fatigue) training. Based on this finding, the research team developed a novel pre-fatigue training technique, which successfully […]

Recently, defect detection systems using artificial intelligence (AI) sensor data have been installed in smart factory manufacturing sites. However, when the manufacturing process changes due to machine replacement or variations in temperature, pressure, or speed, […]
