Self-powered multimodal tactile sensing enabled by hybrid triboelectric and magnetoelastic mechanisms
Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., LtdA research paper by scientists at the Shanghai University proposed an innovative approach to object property perception utilizing triboelectric–magnetoelastic sensing.
The research paper, published on Jul. 2, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented a multimodal tactile sensing device (MMTSD) based on triboelectric–magnetoelastic, which has anthropomorphic tactile sensation. This MMTSD effectively interfaces the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) array with the MEG through silica gel, enabling it to stably perceive the properties of objects within an open environment.

Mapping carbon stocks in Weishan county's reed wetlands: A satellite-based approach
Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural UniversityIn a pioneering effort to enhance our understanding of carbon storage in wetland ecosystems, researchers are utilizing advanced satellite technology to estimate carbon stocks in the reed wetlands of Weishan County, China. The study, titled "Estimation of Carbon Stock in the Reed Wetland of Weishan County in China Based on Sentinel Satellite Series," is led by Prof. Jie Chen from the College of Oceanography and Ecological Science at Shanghai Ocean University in Shanghai, China, and the State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, China. This research offers valuable insights into the carbon sequestration potential of these vital ecosystems.
