HOUSTON, Texas, July 24 -- Rice University issued the following news release:
When picturing next-generation wearables and robotics, the foam filling in your couch cushions is likely not the first thing that comes to mind.
However, Rice University engineers have shown that something as simple as the flow of air through the meshlike structure of open-cell foam can be used to perform digital computation, analog sensing and combined digital-analog control in soft textile-b . . .
