“Thubber” Could Enable New Wearable Safety Gear And Robotic Muscles
Carmel Majidi and Jonathan Malen of Carnegie Mellon University have developed a thermally conductive rubber material that represents a breakthrough for creating soft, stretchable machines and electronics. The findings were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week. The new material, nicknamed “thubber,” is an electrically insulating composite that exhibits an unprecedented … [Read more…]
