For decades semiconductors have formed the core of microelectronic circuits. Although nanofluidics may not put silicon out of business, it will likely open a host of new applications. The finding ...

Soft tactile sensors have revolutionized the field of robotics, electronic skins, and wearable devices. While traditional ...

Fluidic elastomer actuators (FEAs) are pressurized tubes or membranes that can be easily rearranged into complex mechanical devices. They have gained significant attention for their lightweight, ...

Medical staff may soon benefit from a much clearer view during key-hole surgery (laparoscopy), thanks to the invention of a miniature fluidic zoomable camera that provides unprecedented image ...

However, the most effective fluidic logic gate is a bistable element sometimes known as a fluidic amplifier. This is analogous to an RS flip-flop. A supply flow feeds the device and two pressure ...

Fluidic fuses are the latest development in the programmed failure sector. These devices perform a task similar to the fuses in your home. When blown due to pressure, they can be rebonded and reset.

In the world of soft robotics and wearable technology, sheet-based fluidic devices are revolutionizing how lightweight, flexible and multifunctional systems are designed. But with innovation comes ...

Don’t think so? Have a look at the video from [Steve Mould] below. Fluidic logic isn’t anything new, but it has always been a bit exotic. Usually, replacing electrons with water or even air ...

Daniel J. Preston, corresponding author and assistant professor of mechanical engineering, and Sofia Urbina, co-first author of the study, second-year doctoral student in Preston’s lab and a GEM ...
