Using Soft Materials to Transmit Energy

Soft materials possess significant amounts of damping energy, and this is the reason why rubber tires are capable of absorbing the shock of potholes and bumps. If researchers try to develop autonomous soft systems such as soft robots, they will then require a technique to transfer energy across soft materials.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?
