Haptic In‐Sensor Computing Device Based on CNT/PDMS Nanocomposite Physical Reservoir

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a porous carbon nanotube‐polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a sensor array integrated with a physical reservoir computing paradigm capable of in‐sensor computing is demonstrated. The device is able to classify between nine objects with an accuracy above 80%, opening the possibility for low‐power sensing/computing for future robotics.

Establishment patterns of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) at the microsite scale help explain saguaro regeneration and distributions in heterogenous, regional habitats

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Establishment of long‐lived perennial plants is a pivotal event that often leads to reproductive maturity. The population dynamics of the giant saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) have been investigated over large spatial areas, but establishment patterns have not been studied at the microsite (1 m) scale.
