In the modern day, our interactions with voice-based devices and services continue to increase. In this light, researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology and RIKEN, Japan, have performed a meta-synthesis to understand how we perceive and interact with the voice (and the body) of various machines. Their findings have generated insights into human preferences, and can be used by engineers and designers to develop future vocal technologies.

Credit: Tokyo Tech Oxygen (O2) is an essential gas not only for us and most other lifeforms, but also for many industrial processes, biomedicine, and environmental monitoring applications. Given the importance of O2 and other gases, many researchers have focused on developing and improving gas-sensing technologies. At the frontier of this evolving field lie modern nanogap gas sensors--devices usually comprised of a sensing material and two conducting electrodes that are separated by a minuscule...

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology develop a 3D functional interposer -- the interface between a chip and the package substrate -- containing an embedded capacitor. This compact design saves a lot of package area and greatly reduces the wiring length between the chips terminals and the capacitor, allowing for less noise and power consumption. Their approach paves the way to new semiconductor package structures with greater miniaturization.

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) created a novel type of material that combines the structural flexibility of van der Waals materials with the endless tuning possibilities of high-entropy alloys. In their paper, they explore the properties of these new materials and the many promises they hold in electronics applications.
