Every time you sit down with your phone in your back pocket, you’re reminded of a fundamental truth: Human bodies are soft and flexible. Electronics aren’t. But soon, there may be devices that can ...

Modeling the behavior of liquids is important for a wide range of applications, from industrial processes and medical devices to computer graphics and visual simulations. However, despite many years ...

Researchers introduces the first toroidal, light-driven micro-robot that can move autonomously in viscous liquids, such as mucus. This innovation marks a major step forward in developing micro-robots ...

The physics of liquid aspiration and dispensing make viscous liquid handling tricky. Some liquids (like glycerol) are impossible to accurately pipette manually, and can only be pipetted using an ...

The hunt for graphene's niche just got a lot weirder -- apparently graphene can make electrons violate Ohm's Law with quantum effects on the nonlocal scale. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

Molecular assays necessitate accurate pipetting reagents and samples with a diverse set of properties — including viscous samples that can clog tips, distribute unevenly, and complicate ...

Researchers from Tampere University in Finland and Anhui Jianzhu University in China have made a significant breakthrough in soft robotics. Their groundbreaking study introduces the first toroidal, ...
