 Tokyo, Japan (SPX) May 18, 2020 
Robots can be made from soft materials, but the flexibility of such robots is limited by the inclusion of rigid sensors necessary for their control. Researchers created embedded sensors, to replace rigid sensors, that offer the same functionality but afford the robot greater flexibility. Soft robots can be more adaptable and resilient than more traditional rigid designs. The team used cutting-ed ... more |

Waves, whether they are light waves, sound waves, or any other kind, travel in the same manner in forward and reverse directions - this is known as the principle of reciprocity. If we could route waves in one direction only - breaking reciprocity - we could transform a number of applications important in our daily lives.
Breaking reciprocity would allow us to build novel "one-way" componen ... more |
