UK-based antenna maker has created an product for wireless lighting that can be used on metal surfaces. Named Magna (part SR4I051) and aimed at industrial IoT and smart buildings, it operates in the ISM 868/915MHz bands. It uses two electrical layers, one isolated from the other, which enables an antenna to radiate on a metal ...

Tough flexible piezoelectric materials can be 3D printed to convert movement, impact and stress to electrical energy for monitoring or energy harvesting, according to Virginia Tech. The materials are elastomeric and, via a set of printable topologies, the technique allows the creation of materials generating electric charge in response to incoming forces and vibrations from ...

Male Japanese tree frogs communicate with sound, using an internally orchestrated system that lets information get through while also permitting collective choruses and time to rest, according to researchers from Osaka University and University of Tsukuba, and borrowing the technique could reduce packet collisions and power consumption in data networks. The team listened to calling ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are efficient, rapidly getting more efficient, and are likely to be cheap to mass-produce, but have a lemming-like tendency for self-destruction. Now scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) think that have found one of the causes of early demise – the use of titanium dioxide ...

It seems that Europeans are relatively positive about robots as long as they have a more or less theoretical concept in mind, but are increasingly critically when the robot is specified and personal interactions appear imminent – robots were evaluated more negatively in 2017 than five years before. This has been extracted from a survey ...
