The robots incorporated with paper electrodes and liquid crystal elastomer bilayer achieve asymmetric bending.

Biological systems have inspired the development of next-generation soft robotic systems with diverse motions and functions.

Numerous market analyses have shown that over the next five years, demand for lithium-ion batteries for everything from ...

A research team led by Prof. Zhao Shenlong from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of the Chinese ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), rechargeable batteries that move lithium ions between the anode (i.e., negative electrode) and ...

Researchers developed scalable MOF electrodes that lower hydrogen costs to $2.71 per kg, offering a practical path toward large-scale clean energy production.

With this vision in mind, the researchers chose cellulose-based paper—a common and eco-friendly material—as the substrate for the soft robots. Furthermore, instead of complex circuit designs, they ...

Since sending the first human into space in the 1960s, the solution to one key challenge has remained elusive: the efficient and reliable production of oxygen in space. On the International Space ...
