From 1st October, bans and restrictions will be placed on single-use plastic items including plastic plates, cutlery, bowls, cups and food containers. This means retailers, takeaways or food vendors will not be allowed to sell these items as part of an ongoing government battle to reduce litter and protect the environment from plastic pollution.

In the current issue of the high impact factor journal Nature Photonics, Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt, head of the Professorship of Material Systems...

Researchers used sensitive and direction-dependent 3D magnetic field sensors in a novel system that can enable safer human-robot interactions

The electronic skin developed by researchers in Germany is the first to anticipate perceive touch from all directions.

Medical sensors or artificial skin for humanoid robots could become more sensitive with a new e-skin integrated with artificial hairs.

A research team from Chemnitz and Dresden has taken a major step forward in the development of sensitive electronic skin (e-skin) with integrated artificial hairs. E-skins are flexible electronic systems that try to mimic the sensitivity of their natural human skin counterparts.

Computers are getting smaller and smaller, just as current cell phones offer computing power similar to that of a laptop. And the trend toward miniaturization continues. Smart dust applications (t ...
