An artificial visual sensor with spectral adaptability inspired by the eyes of Pacific salmon
Inspired by the vision systems of Pacific salmons, we designed a spectra-adapted vision sensor based on back-to-back photodiodes. Our vision sensors can collect information in broad spectra and resist the interference of visible light, which improves the accuracy of machine vision systems.
Neutrons give a hot new way to measure the temperature of electronic components
Our modern world is full of temperature-sensitive electronic devices, and researchers led by Osaka University have developed a faster, highly accurate way to measure the temperatures of such devices using neutrons.
Electrical field induced first-order insulator to metal transition and memristive effects
We briefly summarize the contents of a recently published paper (Journal of Electronic Materials

Turning organic wastes into carbon dots by light
Organic waste materials, such as plastics and other long-chain hydrocarbons, are difficult to break down due to stable carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. We discovered a new way to unlock the potential of these organic compounds by converting them into luminescent carbon dots using light and 2D materials.
Predicting Plastron Thermodynamic Stability for Underwater Superhydrophobicity
Non-wettable surfaces can mitigate the adverse effects of wetting-related phenomena. However, current achievements fall short of meeting industrial requirements because traditional goniometry does not provide meaningful information on the wetting regime or plastron stability underwater.
