'Textile muscle' touches you from a distanceSoon, your shirt or sweater will be able to give you touch feedback, during physical exercise. Or it may give you the feeling of remotely controlled touch. This is not done using a device attached to the garment, but by using a ‘textile muscle’ that is interwoven in an invisible and comfortable way. In a new European project, led by the University of Twente, clothing will be made smart. The kick-off is 23 and 24 January in Twente.Read more
Light connects two worlds on a single chipFor the first time, researchers of the University of Twente succeeded in connecting two parts of an electronics chip using an on-chip optical link. A light connection can, for example, be a safe way of connecting high-power electronics and digital control circuitry on one chip, without a direct electrical link. Until now, however, an optical link was not possible using standard silicon chip technology. Vishal Agarwal, a UT PhD student, managed to do so. He realized a very small optocoupler circuit that delivers a data rate of Megabits per second in an energy-efficient way.Read more
