Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a T-shirt that can measure breathing and gloves that can translate hand movements into ...

A metamaterial is a composite material that exhibits unique properties due to its structure, and now researchers have used one featuring a small sawtooth pattern on its surface to move and position ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed “SonoTextiles,” smart fabrics that use sound waves and glass fibers to detect movement, ...

A newly developed metamaterial enables sound waves to manipulate objects underwater without any need for physical contact.

They provide much more complex information than what we can see on a waveform. Similarly, to waveforms, time is displayed on the x-axis, but the y-axis measures the frequency of the sound. Amplitude ...

leveraging acoustic waves for gentle, contactless manipulation, offer a promising path. However, effectively isolating nanoscale particles such as exosomes directly from complex fluids like whole ...

This approach overcomes common challenges faced by earlier smart textiles, which often struggled with data overload and complex signal ... the length of the acoustic waves traveling through ...
