Clothes that can mimic the feeling of being touched, touch displays that provide haptic feedback to users, or even ultralight loudspeakers. These are just some of the devices made possible using thin ...

MIT engineers have developed a new way to deliver drugs that could last for months—or even years—with just one small ...

Engineers devised a way to deliver drugs such as contraceptives by injecting them as suspended crystals. Once under the skin, the crystals assemble into a drug depot that can last for months or years, ...

Emory University physicist Connie Roth upended her field of fundamental science with a discovery that polymer blends — an invention ...

With up to 543 horsepower, impressive range, amazing aerodynamics, and a high-tech interior, the 2025 Audi Sportback e-tron ...

In the world of chemical biological defense research, new technologies are typically highly specific and developed in ...

In this mini-review, we synthesize the representative advancements in this field over the past decade, with a particular focus on hydrogels, liquid crystal polymers, and shape-memory polymers (SMPs) ...

You probably learned in school that there are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Think ice cube, a puddle of water and fog. Maybe you also learned about a fourth state, known as plasma ...

electrically tunable fiber devices using liquid crystals (LCs) within hollow-core fibers (HCFs) with precise alignment. This innovative method integrates a gradient temperature field with the surface ...
