The future of earthquake-proofing might just be a simple cylinder filled with steel balls. In December 2025, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent for an energy-dissipation device that ...

A research team has developed a liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics the intelligent prey-capture mechanism of Venus flytraps. Exhibiting memory and counting properties, the device ...

Scientists at North Carolina State University have developed a flexible, stretchy energy-harvesting device solely out of biocompatible soft materials: liquid metal and soft polymers known as hydrogels ...

Incorporating radiopaque materials into parts of medical devices may help support clinicians in accurately positioning and operating those devices under X-ray guidance during endovascular catheter ...

Scientists at EPFL in Switzerland have found a way to grow dense metal structures inside a simple water-based gel, producing ...

As the number of biocompatible metals available for injection molding increases, the process is becoming a practical option for manufacturers of implants and surgical instruments. John L. Johnson ...

Given how incredibly common coronary stents are today, it's surprising to realize that these tiny metal devices didn't make their debut in human arteries until 1986. Perhaps even more surprising, the ...

A research team led by the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a liquid metal-based electronic logic device that mimics the intelligent ...
