Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...

The Potential of Wearable Systems Using Dielectric Elastomers (DE)
Smart Wearable TechnologyRecent progress in dielectric elastomers has been remarkable. As an actuator, it is now possible to lift an 8 kg weight by more than 1 mm at a speed of 88 ms with a dielectric elastomer of only 0.15 g. As a sensor, it is capable of measuring from 0.01 N to 1,400 N with a very thin and small device, and can also use moisture sensors, stretch sensors ...
