How evolution overshot the optimum bone structure in hopping rodents
Mimicking a human fingertip’s sensitivity and sense of direction for robotic applications
With the help of 1.6 million GaN nanopillars per sensor, the University of Michigan team was able to provide human-level sensitivity with directionality on a compact, easily manufactured system
