The realm of robotics has undergone remarkable advancements, culminating in one of the most groundbreaking developments – synthetic muscles can lift a staggering one thousand times their own weight.
Complex bone fractures can be difficult to treat, sometimes requiring the injured bone to be removed and replaced with bone harvested from elsewhere in the body. Thanks to an experimental new material ...
A research team based in China and the United States has developed electroactive polymer zwitterions to modify zinc oxide interlayers in organic solar cells. Their work was found to passivate defects ...
An underwater robot developed by NTNU. This study first establishes a cylindrical dynamic model of dielectric elastomers to deeply analyze the deformation behavior of DEs under the action of electric ...
“My work is always based on finding ways to [stretch] boundaries with technologies,” says Jacobs, founder and co-director of the Brussels-based sound-art space Overtoon. Several years ago, Jacobs ...
