New method uses soft sheets made of silicone rubber that have many tiny droplets of liquid metal embedded inside them Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic ...

Seamlessly integrating powerful, 3-D computer circuits into soft materials such as rubber has been an elusive goal in engineering. Now researchers say they have developed a type of circuit that is ...

Want a smartphone that stretches, takes damage, and still doesn’t miss a call? A team of Virginia Tech researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Macromolecules Innovation ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

Some folks bring out an heirloom table runner when they have company, but what if you sewed your own and made it musical? We’d never put it away! [kAi CHENG] has an Instructable about how to recreate ...

Perhaps our future overlords won’t be made up of electrical circuits after all but will instead be soft-bodied like ourselves. However, their design will have its origins in electrical analogues, as ...

Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic circuits and radio antennas by hand, simply by writing on specially designed sheets of material. This technique could ...

Soft electronic circuits could be used to develop new wearable or implantable devices. Scientists have developed a way to produce soft, flexible and stretchy electronic circuits and radio antennas by ...
