Reviewed by Bethan DaviesResearchers have developed a new machine learning-based technique that uses only spectral data to monitor laser temperature—no contact sensors required—opening the door to simpler, non-invasive diagnostics in complex laser environments. Published in Advanced Sensor Research, the study outlines how neural networks can be trained to read subtle changes in a laser’s emitted light spectrum to accurately infer temperature.

According to a study published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, researchers from China's University of Electronic Science and Technology have created a stretchy bimodal contact lens (BCL) that can detect IOP and EM when the eyelids are closed. Eye health monitoring is about to undergo a radical change because of a new type of smart contact lens. This stretchy lens integrates movement and pressure sensing into a single, small, wireless device that can function even while the eyes are closed.

According to a study published in Science Robotics, scientists from the University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL) have developed a low-cost, durable, and highly sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be attached to robotic hands like a glove, allowing robots to detect information about their surroundings in a manner similar to humans. The researchers created the flexible, conductive skin, which is simple to make and can be melted down and reshaped into various complex shapes.
