Stanford this week featured an article about its latest technological feat: artificial skin that can “feel.” That’s right. Professor Zhenan Bao and a few other engineering wizards have put the finishing touches on a material that can replicate human skin and sense touch and pressure and send those signals to the human brain.
The “skin” is made of two layers of rubber, one of which has a flexible circuit printed on it. In between the two layers there’s a
After a full decade of research and development, Stanford engineers have managed to built the first-ever synchronous computer that algorithmically manipulates matter. Yes, the heavy stuff. Not software.
A bunch of students at Stanford University have come up with a miniature type of robot that’s so strong it can haul nearly 2,000 times its own weight. It uses “gecko” feet to accomplish the feat, and it has the potential to revolutionize industry.
Of the thousands of remarks attributed to the late Steve Jobs, nearly all of them deliver pretty much the same message: listen to your heart! This excerpt from his famous speech at Stanford University in 2005 is no different. However, this one has more than a single lesson embedded in it.
