A team of scientists from China and the U.S. is pioneering the development of bubble-powered robots, which could one day replace needles for painless drug delivery into the body. Inspired by nature, the researchers developed […]
Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its shape and properties in response to changing circumstances. The new method could be useful for prosthetics, […]
Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have created a new material platform for non-volatile memories using covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline solids with high thermal stability. The researchers successfully installed electric-field-responsive dipolar rotors […]
Aqueous batteries have been around for centuries. They are safe and relatively low-cost, but their adoption in new energy storage systems—such as grid storage and electric vehicles—has been limited. One major reason is material compatibility: […]

Soft tissue deformation during body movement has long posed a challenge to achieving optimal garment fit and comfort, particularly in sportswear and functional medical wear.This post was originally published on this site
Students at ETH Zurich have developed a laser powder bed fusion machine that follows a circular tool path to print round components, which allows the processing of multiple metals at once. The system significantly reduces […]
A team led by scientists from Peking University has developed a rubber-like material that converts body heat into electricity. This advance could allow the next generation of wearable electronics to generate their own power continuously […]
Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid materials such as metals or semiconductors, creating a trade-off between flexibility and […]
