(Nanowerk Spotlight) Materials engineers are keen to exploit the outstanding mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for applications in fibers, composites, fabrics and other larger-scale ...
New artificial muscles that twist like the trunk of an elephant, but provide a thousand times higher rotation per length, were announced on Oct. 13 for a publication in Science magazine by a team of ...
ETH Zurich has created a yarn whose capacitance varies significantly with the movement of the textile it is woven into. The researchers “integrated it into a pair of athletic leggings”, according to ...
These muscles, based on carbon nanotubes yarns, accelerate a 2000 times heavier paddle up to 590 revolutions per minute in 1.2 seconds, and then reverse this rotation when the applied voltage is ...
