Thanks to advances in materials and electronics, we are starting to see how our clothing might one day do more than keep us warm or protect us from the elements. Scientists at Chalmers University of ...

Transparent conductive materials and devices have emerged as pivotal components in a wide range of applications, spanning from modern displays and photovoltaic cells to sensors and flexible ...

“There are about 55 million tonnes of peanut crops produced globally every year, yet most of the waste from the shell is ...

Ordinarily, if you want to build a device that's highly electrically conductive, you have to use rigid metals. Now, however, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have created a soft and flexible ...

A single strand of newly developed fiber has the flexibility of cotton and the electric conductivity of the polymer, polyaniline. The new material has shown good potential for wearable e-textiles. The ...

Penn State scientists create elastic gel-like plastic that conducts electricity using salts and tiny fiber networks for flexible electronics.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The demand for materials that combine high conductivity with flexibility has grown sharply, particularly in fields like bioelectronics and wearable technology. Traditional ...

Sometimes science advances at a snail's pace, but in this case that's a good thing: researchers have created a squishy material that combines polymers with liquid metal, demonstrated in a snail-like ...

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...
