Rewriting the periodic table at high pressure
The periodic table has been a vital foundational tool for material research since it was first created 150 years ago. Now, Martin Rahm from Chalmers University of Technology presents a new article which adds an entirely new dimension to the…
A miniature stretchable pump for the next generation of soft robots
Soft robots have a distinct advantage over their rigid forebears: they can adapt to complex environments, handle fragile objects and interact safely with humans. Made from silicone, rubber or other stretchable polymers, they are ideal for use in rehabilitation exoskeletons…
NASA follows tropical storm Krosa’s approach to landfall in southern Japan
Infrared imagery from NASA’s Aqua satellite shows that Tropical Storm Krosa contains powerful thunderstorms with heavy rain capabilities as it moves toward landfall in southern Japan. Krosa’s center is expected to make landfall in the western part of Shikoku Island,…
