Researchers are pioneering materials and robotic systems to advance medical and industrial technologies. MIT engineers developed a compact, low-power receiver chip extremely resistant to interference, enhancing 5G IoT device performance with innovative passive filtering consuming less than 1 milliwatt. At the Paul Scherrer Institute, scientists demonstrated electric field control of magnetic textures in copper oxyselenide, promising ultra-low-energy electronic devices. In soft robotics, a magnetic soft millirobot was created enabling simultaneous locomotion and environmental sensing with embedded flexible sensors detecting multiple parameters in real time. Complementarily, a Chinese team designed electron-induced color router arrays for encrypted displays, integrating material science and electron dynamics for tamper-proof communication.
