Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Liquid metal additives are processed in elastomer host resulting in highly conductive and stretchable composites. The material functions as a piezoresistive sensor with minimal drift, low stiffness, and enhanced operating range. The film can replace wires to charge a mobile phone at ∼350% strain and monitors bodily motion in real‐time via a portable ...

“Pass me the ball”: vocal sounds and language-in-action in sport
Journal of World LanguagesThis paper draws on principles of sound semiotics and parameters of voice quality to examine the vocal sounds of an Australian Rules footballer who ‘calls for the ball’ from their teammates in the ‘live’ action of a sporting contest. The paper will begin

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.
