Researchers have developed a sensor that uses energy from sound waves to control electronic devices. It could, one day, save millions of batteries. Sensors that monitor infrastructure, such as bridges ...

The brilliant metallic blue wings of Morpho butterflies dazzle the eye. Branched nanostructures on the wings scatter light in complex ways to produce this characteristic iridescent hue. By harnessing ...

Researchers have developed a battery-free sensor that reacts to sound waves, such as particular spoken words, producing enough vibrational energy to power an electronic device. The novel sensor would ...
