Programmable CNC-hydrogel composites for soft robotics

A novel class of programmable, self-healing hydrogel nanocomposites has been developed by combining cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with zwitterionic copolymers of 3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl) ...
Hydrogen can become a clever way to store renewable energy and power fuel cells—but this introduces the problem of what can store this hydrogen, in turn. Metal hydrides—solids that absorb hydrogen ...
The mechanical properties of electrochemically deposited Li whiskers critically determine the failure mechanisms of Li metal batteries, yet they remain elusive at the single-whisker level. Here, the ...
Modulus Housing has secured its first Series A round of ₹70 crore (USD 7.83 million). The company plans to expand its modular construction footprint across India and enter select global markets, while ...
Abstract: In this paper, authentication for mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) systems with low-cost tags is investigated. To this end, an adaptive modulus (AM) encryption algorithm is first ...
When Ryan Castellucci recently acquired solar panels and a battery storage system for their home just outside of London, they were drawn to the ability to use an open source dashboard to monitor and ...
The fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) is vital for tissue regeneration and impacts implanted device treatments. Previous research on fibrous biomaterials shows varying cellular reactions to surface ...
Polymers are often employed in engineering designs because of their ability to damp out shock and vibration. A material’s ability to elastically store energy is characterized by the storage modulus (E ...
Modulus's products (called cabins) are temporary structures built on an assembly line. Ravichandran says the cabins offer excellent thermal insulation and can be outfitted with solar power and ...
