As far as taking care of my body goes, I'm not exactly low maintenance. I regularly lift weights and try to get in pilates when I can, and I aim to eat a balanced diet. But in spite of this, I still ...

Abstract: This study presents a novel fabrication technology for shape memory polymer based kirigami electrodes designed for surface-mounted neural implants. The 3D kirigami structures enable dynamic ...

A project at Sweden's Linköping University and Lund University has developed a process for printing conductive polymers with visible light. This could lead to improved techniques for recording the ...

Abstract: As a type of smart materials, magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) possesses the characteristics of a large output strain and a high frequency response, making it highly suitable for the ...

A nutrient-rich diet supports brain health and may help prevent chronic diseases linked to cognitive decline. Fatty fish, leafy greens, berries, and walnuts are especially beneficial due to their high ...

Researchers have created a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can snap into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes by compressing or twisting the original structure. This rapid shape-shifting ...
