Researchers at the University of Bristol, working with collaborators from North Carolina State University, have developed a ...

Characteristics of liquid-based electronic materials, including ionic liquid, conductive hydrogel, liquid metal, liquid-infused surface, and liquid-based adhesive, and their versatile applications in ...

If a phone or other electronic device was made of soft materials, how would that change its use? Would it be more durable? If hospital health monitoring equipment was made of less rigid components, ...

A liquid metal droplet that splits and merges to pump fluid offers a simple, low-voltage engine for powering soft robots, wearables, and microfluidic systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Soft machines are ...

The electronics of today, such as mobile devices and computers, are based on technologies which use solid state components. These devices are made with fixed metallic tracks to house semiconducting ...

Effective thermal management is essential to ensuring the performance and lifespan of modern electronics. While polymers are widely used in electronic components, they inherently exhibit poor thermal ...
