This video demonstrates a simple way to create reflective diffraction gratings by injecting liquid metal (gallium alloy) into microfluidic channels. The walls of the microfluidic channel have a thin, solid oxide coating t...
This video depicts self-healing stretchable wires formed by embedding liquid metal alloy in microchannels composed of self-healing polymer. These stretchable wires can be completely severed with scissors and rapidly self-h...
Researchers from North Carolina State University have created conductive wires that can be stretched up to eight times their original length while still functioning. The wires can be used for everything from headphones to ...
This video describes research at NC State to convert 2D patterns into 3D shapes using only light to trigger self-folding of polymer sheets patterned by a desktop printer.
