Hydrogel‐Based 3D‐Printable Stretchable Pressure Sensor
We present a carbon‐black‐functionalized double‐network granular hydrogel (DNGH) pressure sensor capable of detecting pressures from 200 Pa, equivalent to a light finger touch, up to 500 kPa. The sensor exhibits signal drifts below 3.5% after 800 cycles and response times around 80 ms. Leveraging this broad sensing range, we 3D print this material into

Reciprocity-transposition-based sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation for diode-clamped multilevel converters [PDF]
Modulation strategies for multilevel inverters have typically focused on synthesizing a desired set of three phase sinusoidal voltage waveforms using a fixed number of DC voltage levels. This results in the average current injection and hence the net power drawn from the multiple DC bus terminals to be unmatched and time varying.

Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Ultrathin‐Gold‐Resonators‐Enabled Bolometers with High Linearity, Responsivity, and Repeatability
This work demonstrates ultrathin gold nanomechanical resonators operating in HF/VHF bands, unveiling their potential for laser power sensing. By exploiting frequency shifts resulting from laser‐induced thermal tension, these devices can function as sensitive nanoscale bolometers, with outstanding linearity, responsivity, and repeatability. The findings
