A method has been developed by an international team of researchers that uses liquid metal to produce an elastic material that is virtually immune to both gases and liquids. The material can be used ...

(Nanowerk News) Classical robots, such as those used for manufacturing, can lift heavy loads and repeat automated processes precisely. But they are too rigid and bulky for delicate work and ...

It's not "flubber," but researchers at UMass Amherst have engineered a new rubber-like solid substance that they say has "remarkable" energy qualities. "It's really a composite between an elastic ...

Guohao Dai, PhD, a bioengineering professor at Northeastern University, helped create a new elastic hydrogel material for 3D printing of soft living tissues, including blood vessels. The breakthrough ...

A new elastic calcium phosphate material that closely resembles the structure of human bone has been successfully created by a research team from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the ...
