According to this article, friction is an underappreciated problem in engineering, as it is often responsible for great energy loss within machines and robots. But, in order to combat this, researchers looked into snake skin as a potential model for a new synthetic material to reduce friction. In the most recent […]
Engineers at Rutgers University have invented a 3D-printable hydrogel that senses a change in light and consequently changes shape. It is inspired by the color-changing skin of cuttlefish, octopus, and squid, and it is meant to function as a type of artificial muscle. The main design inspiration was modeled after a […]
