A project at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) has developed a fabrication method that can print multifunctional smart synthetic skin. Described in Nature Communications the technique could ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Despite the prevalence of synthetic materials across different industries and scientific fields, most are developed to serve a limited set of functions. To address this ...

Inspired by the shape-shifting skin of octopuses, Penn State researchers developed a smart hydrogel that can change appearance, texture, and shape on command. The material is programmed using a ...

Abstract: Simultaneous localization and mapping based on 3-D light detection and ranging (LiDAR) tends to degenerate in structural-less environments, leading to a distinct reduction in localization ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

Abstract: Deep neural networks have become a key technology in Power Line Inspection Models. Traditional methods for training deep neural networks mostly use gradient descent optimization algorithms.

Researchers at Penn State have developed a new fabrication method that allows a programmable “smart synthetic skin” to change its appearance, texture, and shape while also hiding or revealing ...
