Over the past decade, flexible sensors have made significant advancements in sensing capabilities. However, measuring complex deformations resulting from forces or strains from multiple axes remains a challenge due to the lack of independent perception of multi-axial stimuli. The main obstacle for independently perceiving biaxial stimuli lies in the Poisson’s effect of sensing materials. Researchers

A recent study published in the Journal of Remote Sensing has revolutionized the field of solar radiation estimation. Researchers have successfully utilized data augmentation in conjunction with the LightGBM machine learning model to accurately predict both diffuse and direct solar radiation. This breakthrough approach has enabled researchers to overcome the limitations of sparse and unevenly
LED technology has come a long way since its inception in the late 19th century with Thomas Edison’s invention of the incandescent lamp. Fast forward to 1969, the first red light emitting diodes (LEDs) lamp made its debut. However, the breakthrough in creating white light bulbs using high-energy blue light remained a challenge until 1998
In a recent UK court ruling, it was determined that Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is not the true identity behind the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto” – the individual credited with creating the cryptocurrency bitcoin. This decision came after a lengthy trial in London that ultimately dismissed Wright’s claims of being the elusive figure behind the
TikTok creators have expressed their dismay and frustration regarding proposed legislation that could potentially lead to the ban of the popular social media platform in the United States. The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would require TikTok to sever ties with its Chinese parent company or face being banned due to its
Poor air quality in classrooms can have detrimental effects on students’ health and academic performance. According to a recent study conducted by the University of Surrey, schools can take proactive measures to enhance air quality by utilizing air purifiers during school hours and opening windows after hours. This approach has shown promising results in reducing
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government recently announced plans to construct new gas-fired power stations in an effort to enhance energy security. This decision has sparked criticism regarding the government’s climate policies, especially as the UK aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The move comes in response to the threat of energy
A LATAM flight from Sydney to Auckland experienced a severe technical issue that resulted in twelve passengers being hospitalized. The incident occurred over the Tasman Sea, causing the Boeing-made plane to dip violently and passengers to be flung towards the ceiling of the aircraft. Reports suggest that the plane lost altitude rapidly, leading to injuries
In the world of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has always been the star of the show, but in recent weeks, another major player has been quietly making waves. Ether, also known as Ethereum, has been on a meteoric rise since its launch in 2015, now holding the position of the second-largest digital currency in terms of total
The rise in popularity of remote work in the United States has led to a significant decrease in the number of people occupying office buildings. This trend has caused concerns among property owners as the value of these buildings has fallen, putting them at risk of losses on property loans. In cities like San Francisco,
