Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot’s movement is driven by a novel…
… going green in the field of soft robotics. Artificial muscles are a progressing technology that could one day enable robots to function like living organisms. Such muscles open up…
KIT researchers characterized chemical processes at the electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. In our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable. They function only because of a passivation layer that forms…
Discovery of two novel classes of natural products with activity against RNA viruses. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically demonstrated that the development of effective agents against viral pathogens is of…
Security gaps exist not only in software, but also directly in hardware. Attackers might deliberately have them built in in order to attack technical applications on a large scale. Researchers…
A team including physicists of the University of Bern has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider…
