Though nanotechnology is portrayed as a fairly recent human invention, nature is actually full of nanoscopic architectures. They underpin the essential functions of a variety of life forms, from bacteria to berries, wasps to whales. In fact, tactful use of ...
Lubricity can be defined as the reduction in mechanical friction and wear by a lubricant. These are the leading reasons for energy loss and component failure in mechanical and electromechanical systems. For instance, one-third of the fuel-based energy in ...
Each layer is precisely cut out of a mold with a laser-micromachining technique, and then bonded to the one below to create the rough 3D structure of the soft spider. The MORPH approach could open up the field of soft robotics to researchers who are more ...
The researchers describe the technology, which companies that make watches and other wearable devices to monitor heart rates and physical activity could incorporate into their products, in the journal Microsystems & Nanoengineering. “It’s like a Fitbit ...
