Advances in the capabilities of superconducting diodes could help scale technologies based on superconducting electronics.

The skin, the largest organ of the human body, is characterized by its softness, stretchability, and multifunctionality. Being mechanically flexible and elastic, it plays critical roles in protection, sensation, and response to external stimuli. These unique properties have inspired the development of skin-mounted electronics—lightweight, soft, and stretchable devices capable of acquiring physiological

The device consists of a chamber containing several suspended sensors, as well as a programmable valve to ventilate the chamber, and electronics for data acquisition and wireless transmission. The researchers — who are based at Northwestern University, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — suggest that the device chamber could cover an open

The researchers — who are based at Zhejiang University — embedded computing devices in two freestyle first-person-view drone models that can implement an autonomous navigation algorithm for trajectory planning, localization and control. The team tested flight performance in a large volume space spanning 100 × 40 × 20 m containing artificial objects and natural foliage, as well as in confined spaces
