[ombates] shares a step-by-step method for making a conductive bio-string from scratch, no fancy equipment required. She demonstrates using it to create a decorative top with touch-sensitive parts, ...

There are DIY projects that you should do at your own risk, and then there are DIY projects that you should do at your own risk. This conductive ink concocted by Jordan Bunker falls into the latter ...

In order to reach their full potential, soft robotic devices can't just consist of rigid electronic components encased in squishy rubber. A new material could help in that regard, as it's soft, ...

Most of what we call “soft robots” aren’t 100% soft. Because robots require some sort of conductive element to make them work, there’s usually a semi-flexible piece of metal hidden inside whatever ...

London-based startup and electronics brand Bare Conductive has created a DIY kit that can be used to transform a sheet of paper into a functioning light. Called Electric Paint Lamp Kit, the ...

A research team has developed what they call a 'dip-and-peel' strategy for simple and rapid fabrication of two-dimensional ionogel membranes. By dipping sustainable biomass materials in certain ...

A typical chemical reaction that most people have observed has inspired a novel method of producing a flexible gel film that could lead to advancements in sensors, batteries, robotics, and other areas ...

North Carolina State University researchers have developed a metallic gel that is highly electrically conductive and can be used to print three-dimensional solid objects at room temperature. In a ...

A common chemical reaction that most people have seen first-hand is the inspiration for a new way to make a flexible gel film that could lead to innovations in sensors, batteries, robotics and more. A ...
