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, ...

There are DIY projects that you should do at your own risk, and then there are DIY projects that you should do at your own risk. This conductive ink concocted by Jordan Bunker falls into the latter ...

London-based startup and electronics brand Bare Conductive has created a DIY kit that can be used to transform a sheet of paper into a functioning light. Called Electric Paint Lamp Kit, the ...

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 ...

A typical chemical reaction that most people have observed has inspired a novel method of producing a flexible gel film that could lead to advancements in sensors, batteries, robotics, and other areas ...

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 ...

Sometimes science advances at a snail's pace, but in this case that's a good thing: researchers have created a squishy material that combines polymers with liquid metal, demonstrated in a snail-like ...
