Researchers have discovered how to stretch metal films used in flexible electronics to twice their size without breaking. The discovery could lead to dramatic improvements and addresses one of the ...

Imagine a wire that can stretch eight to 10 times its original length and still send crystal clear audio from your music player to your earphones, or imagine accidentally cutting a cable to a tactical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The advent of wearable technology has brought with it a pressing need for energy storage solutions that can keep pace with the flexibility and stretchability of soft electronic ...

In the first article of this series we gave an overview of metallurgy and looked at the most fundamental tools for doing metalwork: hammers and dollies. This time we'll show you how to use these ...
