Imagine a health-care robot that can display patient information and then respond to human touch. Or consider the prospect of a pocket-sized flat screen display that could expand to six or seven times its size. While these applications may sound futuristic, a group of graduate students from Cornell University has unveiled a new hyperelastic, light-emitting material that could lead to significant advances in soft robotics, health care and other areas. Inspired by octopuses, Cornell University researchers created a multipixel electroluminescent display fabricated via replica...Read full article
