Nature Conference "Marine Sensing Technologies," organized by Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Guangzhou) and the Institute of Smart Marine Science and Engineering, Guangdong University of Technology, explores frontiers in marine sensing and digital ocean science — spanning in situ/remote sensing, marine robotics, deep-sea observation, and digital ocean modelling.
Spike–language dual encoding integrates tactile sensors with spiking neural networks and large language models to enhance robotic perception and cognition in object classification and semantic reasoning, bridging gaps in tactile processing.
Researchers are increasingly discovering and consuming scientific knowledge through artificial intelligence (AI) platforms built by technology companies. Here we discuss what publishers and editors can do to co-create use-cases and governance of the AI systems that mediate science.
Stress and strain sensors underpin mechanical sensing across electronics, robotics and bioengineering, yet their distinct physical meanings and response pathways are often confused. This Review establishes a unifying, mechanics-based framework that clarifies stress- versus strain-driven sensing, guiding rational device design, performance evaluation and application-specific sensor selection.
As sensing technologies become increasingly multi- and inter-disciplinary, their role is rapidly evolving beyond signal detection. In this Viewpoint, five experts discuss emerging sensing paradigms, ethical and societal challenges, and the system-level innovations needed to translate laboratory breakthroughs into robust, trustworthy technologies for real-world deployment.
