Ultrathin lensless fibre endoscopes offer minimally invasive investigation, but they mostly operate as a rigid type due to the need for prior calibration of a fibre probe. Furthermore, most ...

Piezoelectric materials are capable of converting between mechanical and electrical energy, and are suitable for sensing, actuating and energy harvesting. While most conventional piezoelectric ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an environmentally safer type of plastic that can be used for wearable electronics, sensors and other electrical applications. The ...

Flexible solar panels are quite different from the rigid, rectangular, glass-encased standard solar panels typically found on rooftops. Rather, flexible solar panels come in all shapes and sizes, and ...
