Soft components for the next generation of soft robotics

Soft valve paves the way for fully soft robots. Soft robots driven by pressurized fluids could explore new frontiers and interact with delicate objects in ways that traditional rigid robots…

21.4% record efficiency for flexible CIGS solar cells

A new efficiency record of 21.4% for flexible CIGS solar cell on polymer film has been achieved by scientists at Empa. Solar cells of this type are especially suited for…

Researchers reveal a novel metal where electrons flow with fluid-like dynamics

The findings confirm theoretical predictions that certain metallic specimens could support an electron-phonon liquid phase. A team of researchers from Boston College has created a new metallic specimen where the…

Engineers develop prototype of electronic nose

There’s nothing like the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. But how does one measure that smell? There’s no energy in a smell to help estimate how potent…

More efficient electricity distribution thanks to new insulation material

High-voltage direct current cables which can efficiently transport electricity over long distances play a vital role in our electricity supply. Optimising their performance is therefore an important challenge. With that…

New technique for large-scale energy storage developed by polymer scientist

The sale of electric vehicles (EV’s) has grown exponentially in the past few years as is the need for renewable energy sources to power them, such as solar and wind….
