Transduction is the changing of one form of energy into another, such as a spoken voice changed into radio waves by a cellphone. Ten years ago, three research teams published a breakthrough—the first ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240152, discusses how multi-photon bionic skin realizes high-precision haptic visualization for reconstructive perception. Human ...

Artificially engineered biological processes, such as perception systems, remain an elusive target for organic electronics. A complete perception system built by designing other organic materials and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Our skin endows us with a profoundly multifaceted sensory awareness unmatched in machines. Human touch conveys intricate patterns of pressure, thermal flow and subsurface textures ...

A team from the University of Chicago brings us a new spin on sensory substitution, the “Seeing with the Hands” project, turning external environment input into sensations. Here specifically, the ...

While engineers have developed increasingly advanced bio-inspired systems over the past decades, the sensing capabilities of these systems are typically far less advanced than those observed in humans ...

A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds within the frequency range of human neurons. Artificially ...
