Wearable Technology

Soft robots are often praised for their flexibility, safety, and ability to interact with delicate environments. But many of these systems still depend on...

Chronic wounds remain one of the more difficult problems in regenerative medicine. In many cases, the body fails to maintain the immune and signaling...

Artillery operations remain among the most physically demanding tasks on the battlefield. Crews are required to repeatedly lift and load heavy shells, often weighing...

Exposure to blast waves during training or operations poses a well-documented risk to brain health. Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can develop even without...

Hand edema can significantly limit mobility, reduce grip strength and complicate recovery following injury, surgery or chronic illness. Standard treatments often rely on manual...

Electronics are getting smarter, but not necessarily more adaptable. Most modern chips are still built on rigid silicon wafers that crack, fail, or lose...

As combat aircraft take on longer missions and pilots rely more heavily on helmet-mounted sensors and displays, the physical burden on aircrew has become...

Operating after dark remains one of the most demanding conditions for soldiers and security forces. Night-vision equipment is essential, yet it is often expensive,...

Modern infantry operate in environments saturated with threats and information. Ballistic danger, laser exposure, electronic noise, and the constant need to process data from...

Finnish startup Distance Technologies has unveiled its Field Operator HUD (FOH), an innovative augmented reality (AR) system for combat vehicles. The system, which has...

Modern warfare is increasingly shaped by technologies that operate beyond traditional bullets and bombs. As conflicts move into dense urban areas and contested electromagnetic...

Precise timing sits quietly at the heart of modern systems. Communications networks, military command chains, financial transactions, and power grids all rely on accurate...

Modern navigation systems rely heavily on satellite timing, and that dependence has become a growing vulnerability. GPS signals can be jammed, spoofed, or disrupted...

Heavy body armor remains one of the most persistent physical challenges for soldiers, law enforcement officers, and security personnel. Modern plates provide essential protection,...

A new wearable system developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego is redefining how humans can interact with machines. The device...

Diving remains one of the most physically demanding tasks in marine operations. Whether for research, construction, or security missions, human divers must constantly fight...

Wearable devices that track health signals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, but many current sensors still struggle with accuracy. Movements, temperature changes, and moisture can...

A new generation of artificial vision technology is giving people who lost their sight to age-related disease the ability to read again. In a European...

A new type of transparent wearable sensor may offer a practical way to monitor ultraviolet A (UVA) exposure, helping users avoid sun damage without...

Meta researchers have introduced a wrist-worn device that could reshape how users interact with digital technology—by allowing control of phones, computers, and other connected...
