There are some technologies first imagined in the Star Trek universe have already come to exist in the modern day. Communicators, tablet computers, and computer voice recognition are nearly as good as ...

In order to reach their full potential, soft robotic devices can't just consist of rigid electronic components encased in squishy rubber. A new material could help in that regard, as it's soft, ...

Tired skin and fine lines don’t always require injections (or a scalpel) for a fix. As someone who has tested dozens of ...

A research team has developed what they call a 'dip-and-peel' strategy for simple and rapid fabrication of two-dimensional ionogel membranes. By dipping sustainable biomass materials in certain ...

Bioelectronics, such as implantable health monitors or devices that stimulate brain cells, are not as soft as the surrounding tissues due to their metal electronic circuits. A team of scientists from ...

Most of what we call “soft robots” aren’t 100% soft. Because robots require some sort of conductive element to make them work, there’s usually a semi-flexible piece of metal hidden inside whatever ...

Conductive gels are central to flexible electronics and wearable sensing technologies, yet their practical use is often ...

Researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. Researchers have developed a ...
