A team of researchers from US has reported a breakthrough in stretchable electronics that can serve as an artificial skin.
Researchers have developed an ultrathin, ultraflexible, protective layer and demonstrated its use by creating an air-stable, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. This technology will enable creation of electronic skin (e-skin) displays of blood oxygen level, e-skin heart rate sensors for athletes and many other applications.
A new electroluminescent material stretches to more than six times its original size while still emitting light. One potential use: robot skin.
Engineers from the University of Rochester have produced a new shape-changing polymer that rapidly responds to body heat. This remarkable new mighty morphing material, which can lift objects up to 1,000 times its own mass, is showcased in the Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics.
A gel can be resuscitated in a fashion similar to a medical cardiopulmonary resuscitation, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the
