Two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown promise in various optical and electrical applications. Among these materials, semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been heavily studied recently for their photodetection and thermoelectric properties. The recent progress in fabrication, defect…

Avoiding cold or seeking warmth are universal animal needs. Homeothermic mammals maintain a constant body temperature despite fluctuating ambient temperatures. One exception is the naked mole-rat which lacks effective thermogenesis. We show that the naked mole-rat has evolved a greatly expanded cold sensing system.…

The quest to decode the complex supraspinal mechanisms that integrate cutaneous thermal information in the central system is still ongoing. The dorsal horn of the spinal cord is the first hub that encodes thermal input which is then transmitted to brain regions via the spinothalamic and thalamo-cortical pathways. So…

Detecting temperature is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Though the thermo transient receptor potential (thermoTRP) channels, such as TRPV1 or TRPM8, have been identified as prototypic heat or cold sensors, respectively, how they detect temperature remains elusive. Here we first identified groups of…

'Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee'] Tactile sensing can enable a robot to infer properties of its surroundings, such as the material of an object. Heat transfer based sensing can be used for material recognition due to differences in the thermal properties of materials. While datadriven methods have shown promise for this…

The intelligence of the human biological system is enabled by the highly distributed sensing receptors on soft skin that can distinguish various stimulations or environmental cues, thus establishing the fundamental logic of sensing and physiological regulation or response. To replicate biological perception, two…

Humans easily discriminate tiny skin temperature changes that are perceived as warming or cooling. Dedicated thermoreceptors forming distinct thermosensory channels or “labelled lines” are thought to underlie thermal perception. We show that mice have similar perceptual thresholds for forepaw warming to humans (~1 °C…

'Rajesh Sharma' 'Agustin Zuniga' 'Mohammad A. Hoque' 'Marko Radeta' 'Petteri Nurmi' 'Huber Flores'] We contribute MIDAS as a novel sensing solution for characterizing everyday objects using thermal dissipation. MIDAS takes advantage of the fact that anytime a person touches an object it results in heat transfer. By…

Inducible protein switches are used throughout the biosciences to allow on-demand control of proteins in response to chemical or optical inputs. However, these inducers either cannot be controlled with precision in space and time or cannot be applied in optically dense settings, limiting their application in tissues…

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a common risk to human health in industrial and domestic settings. VOCs are often present at concentrations that cannot be detected through human odor perception. VOC sensors are, therefore, urgently needed for home and workplace environmental monitoring, including wearable sensors…
