New discovery in animal exoskeletons leads to advances in designing construction materials

Monash University researchers have discovered a new design motif derived from the rigid external covering of invertebrates. It can help in creating more damage tolerant materials for future building and construction. The study was published in Nature Communications. Scientists said the new pattern can add...

New materials have remarkable toughness and stretchiness

Scientists have created new materials. These materials are very stretchable and extremely tough. The new materials fall under the broader category of ionogels. These are polymer networks that contain salts. These are liquid at room temperature. These salts are known as ionic liquids. Scientists have made ionogels...

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,...
