Multiple transmit coils can ease positional constraints in wireless charging systems, but it is not easy to optimise power transfer. Now Korean engineers have found an elegant way to do it, only measuring the reflected receiver impedance from each transmit coil and processing that to decide how much current each transmitter should deliver. “Our strategy breaks ...

A flexible wearable sensor might one day guide treatment for chronic (long-lasting) wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers or pressure ulcers. Researchers from Russian institute Skoltech and the University of Texas at Austin have created a prototype for such a sensor, and demonstrated it in a simulate wound environment where it measured three biomarkers, all of ...

AI is too powerful for engineers to handle alone, is one of the conclusions of a study into autonomous systems and humanity people by the University of Texas at Austin. Instead, future designs must be guided by a broad range of societal stakeholders. Over 100 US autonomy experts were involved, whose work has been pulled together in ...

Graphene can make heat pipes work much better, according to Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Heat pipes, often seen in high-end PCs, are sealed hollow tubes that contain a liquid at a pressure than ensures part of it is vapour at the temperatures of interest. If you put one end of a heat pipe ...
