Light provides freedom to control each layer and improves precision and speed.
Results for "robot"
Flexible microtools for safer, more effective surgeries
Thanks to ultra-thin sensors and artificial muscles, future flexible microelectronics will be able to take on complex shapes to better interface with delicate biological tissues without causing damage.
This month in pictures
From Trojan horses that help sneak therapeutics past the blood–brain barrier to advanced brain models built on microchips, we celebrate innovative science in breathtaking images.
Magnetic bacteria for drug delivery
Bacteria controlled by magnets could one day deliver medicine directly to the cells that need it.
Artificial chemist 2.0
AI and robotics meet fluidics to accelerate materials development, allowing researchers to create quantum dots in under an hour.
The art of materials science and teaching online
The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way in which we teach, but it doesn’t have to be all bad.
Self-folding paper structures, right out of the printer
Scientists develop a simple method that mimics plant motion to get paper to fold itself after printing.
A new device with unique functionality could signal a new design philosophy for electronics
Multimodal thin-film transistors, or MMTs, could be pivotal in designing the next-generation of wearables and eco-disposable sensors.
Joining forces to build realistic living tissue
Hybridizing biofabrication processes will lead us to superior “living” tissue and organ substitutes that can be used to treat patients in lieu of donor grafts and metal and plastic devices.
Smart clothing for more energy savings
A simple alteration in the functionality of our clothing could surprisingly help lower energy consumption in buildings and homes.
