With the help of algorithms for target tracking and removal of random body-movement noise, a radio-frequency sensor can track multiple people and monitor their individual vital signs in a real-world setting.
Surface plasmons propagating on conductive fabrics can be used to connect wearable sensors around the body, creating a secure and versatile body area network.
High-performance MoS2 transistors can be created using 2-nm-thick CaF2 as a gate insulator, which forms a quasi van der Waals interface with the 2D semiconductor.
A readout scheme for quantum devices, which is inspired by one-transistor–one-capacitor dynamic random access memory and consists of CMOS field-effect transistors and quantum dots, could reduce the number of input lines per qubit and allow large-scale device arrays to be addressed.
Energy-efficient and secure wireless body sensor networks can be created by using conductive fabrics that support surface-plasmon-like modes at radio communication frequencies.
This Perspective examines the potential role of conductive atomic force microscopy in the development of nanoelectronics, exploring possible characterization strategies, enhanced electronics for the technique and improved multiprobe approaches.
A radar-based sensor can monitor the individual vital signs—heartbeat and respiration—of multiple people in a real-world setting, keeping track of individual people during vigorous movement.
The topological Hall effect is observed at above room temperature in a bilayer heterostructure composed of thulium iron garnet and platinum, suggesting the formation of skyrmions in a magnetic insulator through the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction.
