That makes the new material a stretchy, flexible polymer with a liquid metal center that effectively prevents gases and liquids from passing through. In tests of the material’s effectiveness, the team ...

The new material has been developed, by researchers based at the National University of Singapore, with robots in mind, in order to improve the performance and sensing ability of mechanoids. The types ...

Liquid metal refers to a class of metallic materials that remain in a liquid state at or near room temperature. These materials possess unique properties, such as high electrical and thermal ...

Metals have been highly valued for their exceptional electrical conductivity for a considerable time. However, their inflexibility has traditionally excluded them from the competition to create ...

Researchers at the University of Washington created a recyclable composite material made of tiny droplets of liquid metal infused into a stretchy polymer. The droplets, pictured in this microscope ...

Weak van der Waals interactions align metalorganic polyhedra into one-dimensional microporous fibrils, enabling flexible ...

Flexible ICs are durable and form-fitting, but they add manufacturing challenges to already complex processes, while printed flex sensors lack infrastructure. MEMS are finding new popularity in ...
