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 ...

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 ...

Liquid metals that flow like water yet conduct electricity like solid wires are moving from lab curiosities into the toolkit for next‑generation devices. Researchers are learning to sculpt, pattern, ...

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 ...

As technology continues to advance, medical device designers are being asked to increase performance and longevity of devices while decreasing costs. One of the most effective methods of achieving ...

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 ...

The MHP-TA15-9-82 is a 15 A metal hybrid PPTC device that has a resettable thermal cut-off. This thermal protection device is designed for battery applications. It has a plastic coating with copper ...

Engineers have shown that medical devices made from aluminum can be disintegrated within the body by exposing them to gallium-indium, a liquid metal that seeps into the boundaries between the grains ...

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 ...
