soft materials for soft actuators
Bookmarked 438 weeks ago
one step closer to lifelike robotsa self-contained soft actuator three times stronger than natural muscle without the need of externals signals a breakthrough in soft roboticsthe artificial muscle in use as a bicep lifts a skeletons arm to a 90 degree positionresearchers at columbia engineering have solved a long-standing issue in the creation of untethered soft robots whose actions and movements can help mimic natural biological systems aslan miriyev and kenneth stack in the creative machines lab led by hod lipson professor of mechanical engineering have developed a 3d-printable synthetic soft muscle a one-of-a-kind artificial active tissue with intrinsic expansion ability that does not require an external compressor or high voltage equipment as previous muscles required

fog-free glass
Bookmarked 720 weeks ago
one of the most instantly recognizable features of glass is the way it reflects light but a new way of creating surface textures on glass developed by researchers at mit virtually eliminates reflections producing glass that is almost unrecognizable because of its absence of glare and whose surface causes water droplets to bounce right off like tiny rubber ballsthe new quotmultifunctionalquot glass based on surface nanotextures that produce an array of conical features is self-cleaning and resists fogging and glare the researchers say ultimately they hope it can be made using an inexpensive manufacturing process that could be applied to optical devices the screens of smartphones and televisions solar panels car windshields and even windows in buildingsthe technology is described in a paper published in the journal acs nano co-authored by mechanical engineering graduate students kyoo-chul park and hyungryul choi former postdoc chih-hao chang sm 03904 phd 03908 now at north carolina state university chemical engineering professor robert cohen and mechanical engineering professors gareth mckinley and george barbastathisread more at http:webmitedunewsoffice2012glare-dust-and-fog-free-glass-0426htmlfootage courtesy: kyoo-chul park bavand keshavarz ampamp hyungryul choimusic by: torture super sonic http:freemusicarchiveorgmusictortue_super_sonic
