It describes how coral reefs and bones release minerals to be the same as the environment. This can be applied to how self-adapting material that can change its stiffness in response to the applied force.
Cambridge, UK-based Evonetix was founded in 2015 with a focus on synthetic biology. In 2018, a Series A round raised $12.3 million and now the firm has raised $30 million in a Series B investment, led by west-coast investor Foresite Capital. The funding will be used to accelerate internal technology development, […]
A remote control car usually reaches high speeds and topples over when making a corner. However, the mechanism of the Cheetah’s tail optimizes speed and turning which can be translated into a new device which can now reach new speeds while making a tight corner!
An electronic glove, or e-glove, developed by Purdue University researchers can be worn over a prosthetic hand to provide humanlike softness, warmth, appearance and sensory perception, such as the ability to sense pressure, temperature and hydration. While a conventional prosthetic hand helps restore […]
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) is a private, non-profit oceanographic research center in Moss Landing, California. At MBARI, scientists and engineers work together to develop new tools and methods for studying the ocean. MBARI’s 2020 Summer internship is open to undergraduate and graduate students and educators. The program is […]
Inspired by embryonic wound closure, we present mechanically active dressings to accelerate wound healing. Conventional dressings passively aid healing by maintaining moisture at wound sites. Recent developments have focused on drug and cell delivery to drive a healing process, but these methods are […]
A new robotic hand is able to “sweat” to cool down. Hydrogel robots offer more safety, as opposed to a rigid metal hand. However, because hydrogel has a high water component, it is very difficult to cool down. Researchers layered the hydrogel, and when various layers are […]
