Nanoantenna phosphors comprising of a periodic array of nanoparticles on the phosphor plate can tailor the spatial radiation pattern of the photoluminescence for smaller, lighter and brighter solid-state lighting devices. CREDIT KyotoU/Shunsuke Murai

Nanoantennas are set to become the world’s go-to light source

Exoskeleton Robot and our control approach. (a) Developed carbon frame exoskeleton robot. (b) Proposed selective assist strategy. In our approach, assistive policy is selected among candidate daily motions by using an EMG-based movement classification method constructed in a positive-unlabeled (PU)-learning framework and assists user’s motion with a newly developed lightweight exoskeleton robot.
