Graphene grows – and we can see it
Mar 24, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Graphene is the strongest of all materials. On top of that, it is exceptionally good at conducting heat and electrical currents, making it one of the most special and versatile materials we know. For all these reasons, the discovery of graphene was awarded the Nobel...
Robot caterpillar demonstrates new approach to locomotion for soft robotics
Mar 24, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot’s movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires that use heat to control the way the robot bends, allowing...
