‘Mini earthquakes’ turn tiny chips into radio signal powerhousesFrom GPS satellites to mobile networks, modern technology relies on ultra-precise radio signals. Engineers have long tried to generate them on chips using interactions between light and sound, but the effect was too weak. University of Twente researchers now show in Nature Photonics that a thin glass layer creates ‘mini-earthquake’ surface acoustic waves, that make the effect more than 200 times stronger. This enables ultra-pure signals and record-sharp filters on a device thousands of times smaller.Read more
Researchers develop bionic foot that restores a natural walking patternResearchers at the University of Twente and Radboudumc are developing a new generation of prosthetic technology: a bionic foot that closely replicates the body’s natural walking motion. Within the HealthTech Nexus partnership, they are working on the so‑called ‘Autonomous leg’, a system designed to support people after a foot amputation in regaining a smooth and effortless gait.Read more
