Penn State-led researchers develop first artificial skin to maintain cognitive characteristics when deformed.
According to research from analyst GWI, while consumers still consider fitness tracking the leading reason for owning a wearable, nearly half of all owners also expect their wearable to monitor their health.
Active high-pass filters remove unwanted low-frequency signals while preserving useful higher frequencies. This article covers first- and second-order filter design, Sallen-Key and multiple-feedback topologies, and practical applications in audio electronics, instrumentation, and signal processing.

A new glove with more than three dozen actuators across all five fingers and the palm, developed by Cornell researchers, aims to reduce swelling for people suffering from edema.
AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an innovative hand exoskeleton that helps persons after stroke re-learn how to grasp. Its accordion-like structure makes it light, robust and easy to integrate into everyday life.

Researchers modeled dynamic facial expressions of pain using a data-driven perception-based psychophysical method with visual-haptic interaction of users.
In this episode, we talk about how researchers have created a system for predicting job automation and providing alternatives to current workers along with the impacts of carbon dioxide productivity.
“Precision work down to the nanometer” is how Robbert van der Waal describes the work that Philips MEMS Foundry does. As part of Philips Engineering Solutions (PES), the company mainly makes a lot of components for customers outside of Philips. “Our technology is too good to keep to ourselves,” he says.
