Self-healing materials for robotics made from ‘jelly’ and salt

Scientists have developed self-healing, biodegradable, 3D-printed materials. This material can be used in the development of realistic artificial hands. This material can also be used in other soft robotics applications. University of Cambridge researchers have developed the low-cost jelly-like materials. The material can sense strain,...

Engineers reveal cause of key sodium-ion battery flaw

Scientists have discovered the source of a problem limiting the durability of sodium-ion batteries. Scientists provided manufacturers with new strategies for powering the 21st century. Sodium-ion batteries are a promising technology for electric vehicles. As they are made from abundant materials that are energy...

Biohybrid fish made from human cardiac cells swims like the heart beats

Harvard University researchers have developed the first fully autonomous biohybrid fish from human stem-cell derived cardiac muscle cells. The artificial fish recreates the muscle contractions of a pumping heart to swim. This brought researchers one step closer to develop a more complex artificial muscular...

Scientists develop insect-sized flying robots with flapping wings

University of Bristol scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of robotics, developing a revolutionary drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots. The new method, called electromechanical zipping, eliminates the need for conventional motors and gears, opening up a world of possibilities for...

New ultra-fast 3D printer works like a reverse scanner

A new 3D printer has the principles of a CT scanner. It has light modelling of materials. It will produce objects with unique property combinations in record time. Technical University of Denmark researchers are working to make a reality with a new 3D printing technology based...

Scientists recommend system of checkpoints to help climate engineering research

Scientists have done research into engineering techniques. These techniques can be applied to artificially cool the planet. It has poses some of the thorniest questions facing society today. Scientists said, this tension is formed by the lack of a broadly accepted oversight framework to...
