Mechanoluminescent materials convert mechanical energy such as stress, strain and vibration directly into light, making them attractive as self-powered sensors that require no batteries or wiring. From biomedical sensors to self-powered infrastructure monitoring sensors, mechanoluminescent mater...
The temperature of rivers is something most people think about only if they plan to go swimming, kayaking or spend a day fishing. Few consider how it could potentially affect their electricity bill.
Earlier this week I published CLAIM-29: permission is not purpose. An instruction can be fully authorized, fresh, and clean in shape, and still ask the agent to act outside what it exists to do. The purpose envelope gate refused those instructions by deriving the object domain structurally, ign...
