Dec 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) An international research team led by quantum physicist Markus Arndt (University of Vienna) has achieved a breakthrough in the detection of protein ions: Due to their high energy sensitivity, superconducting nanowire detectors achieve almost 100% quantum efficiency and exceed the detection efficiency of conventional ion...
Soft robotic arm mimics octopus’ agility with stretchable electronics
Dec 03, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Roboticists have long aspired to match the dexterity and adaptability of animals with engineered creations. Soft-bodied creatures like octopuses can smoothly interact with uncertain environments thanks to sensitive skin and muscles. Now researchers from Beihang University, Tsinghua University, and the National University of Singapore have...
