A 510(k) submission now planned for this quarter sets up a potentially faster clearance than the de novo pathway originally planned, the company said.

The proposed CNT-based nanocomposites facilitate 3D printing of highly stretchable and sensitive piezoresistive sensors that can be used to develop high performance, wearable health monitoring devices ...

From dental crowns to airplane parts, 3D printing has become a vital tool for making precise, customized products quickly. Among the many techniques available, one of the most popular is photocurable ...

Jet-powered humanoid iRonCub achieves simulated flight stability, paving the way for disaster-response and advanced robotics applications.

Robots that move, lift, and sense objects without electronics are now possible. They work using materials that snap and bend in predictable ways.

Fidget poppers are an example of "bistability," as the popped circles rest in one of two stable states. Purdue University researchers have taken this idea to its extreme, building robots that can be ...

Construction robots have been around for a while, automating challenging tasks on job sites. The new kid on this block is called Charlotte, and it's billed as being autonomously capable of building a ...

University of Minnesota researchers develop a 3D printing technique for realistic human tissue models for surgical training.

A kirigami-skinned soft robot powered by pneumatic muscles achieves crawling, steering and obstacle avoidance, advancing mobility for confined and rough terrain.

Polymer-based conductive nanocomposites, particularly those incorporating carbon nanotubes, are highly promising for the development of flexible electronics, soft robotics and wearable devices.

Prof. Pyo highlighted the broader potential of the technology: "Our CNT nanocomposites open the door to a new generation of 3D-printed materials that are both highly stretchable and conductive, ideal ...
