Scientists at North Carolina State University have developed a flexible, stretchy energy-harvesting device solely out of biocompatible soft materials: liquid metal and soft polymers known as hydrogels ...

Munich, Germany - A new study shows that common handheld metal devices used for security screening do not interfere with the function of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) ...

A research team has developed a liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics the intelligent prey-capture mechanism of Venus flytraps. Exhibiting memory and counting properties, the device ...

Researchers have developed a new method for making tiny stretchable antennas from a hydrogel and liquid metal. The antennas could be used in wearable and flexible wireless electronic devices to ...

Lobachevsky University scientists have implemented a new variant of the metal-oxide memristive device, which holds promise for use in RRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) and novel computing systems, ...

The researchers showed that biomedical devices made from aluminum can be disintegrated by exposing them to a liquid metal known as eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn). In practice, this might work by ...

As the number of biocompatible metals available for injection molding increases, the process is becoming a practical option for manufacturers of implants and surgical instruments. John L. Johnson ...

A research team has developed a methodology to precisely design and control the "degree of disorder" in nanopattern arrays ...

The team demonstrated the versatility of the µPADs by introducing an integrated device for paper-based soil-liquid extraction. The device capitalized on the advantages of the paper including its low ...

A new fabrication method guides liquid gallium beneath graphene after lithography, producing durable superconducting devices that maintain performance through standard chip processing. (Nanowerk ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- By taking advantage of a phenomenon that leads to fractures in metal, MIT researchers have designed medical devices that could be used inside the body as stents, staples, or drug ...

Engineers have shown that medical devices made from aluminum can be disintegrated within the body by exposing them to gallium-indium, a liquid metal that seeps into the boundaries between the grains ...
