Scientists develop films with tunable elongation and fracture for various uses
Elastomers, or elastic polymers, materials with high elasticity, are widely used for applications in industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, and oil and gas. The degree of elasticity in these materials, denoted by a parameter known as "Young's modulus," depends on the extent of cross-linking between the constituent polymer layers such that higher cross-linking leads to … [Read more...] about Scientists develop films with tunable elongation and fracture for various uses
Stretching the capacity of flexible energy storage
Some electronics can bend, twist and stretch in wearable displays, biomedical applications and soft robots. While these devices' circuits have become increasingly pliable, the batteries and supercapacitors that power them are still rigid. Now, researchers in ACS' Nano Letters report a flexible supercapacitor with electrodes made of wrinkled titanium carbide -- a type of MXene … [Read more...] about Stretching the capacity of flexible energy storage
The new ‘WarioWare’ is the game for our attention span-starved, pandemic times
Look, I don’t know about you, but the pandemic destroyed my attention span.A two-hour movie feels overwhelming. A book feels downright insurmountable. A TV series? Maybe?

Forget minutes or hours, my brain has become the equivalent of a television remote permanently stuck on … [Read more...] about The new ‘WarioWare’ is the game for our attention span-starved, pandemic times
High-energy shape memory polymer could someday help robots flex their muscles
When stretched or deformed, shape memory polymers return to their original shapes after heat or light is applied. These materials show great promise for soft robotics, smart biomedical devices and deployable space structures, but until now they haven't been able to store enough energy. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Central Science have developed a shape memory polymer that … [Read more...] about High-energy shape memory polymer could someday help robots flex their muscles
