In the quest to develop implantable electronics to monitor the human body from within, flexibility and stretchability have been major hurdles. We’ve seen numerous developments including stretchable ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Last time we showed you some interesting rubber band, or as we call it around here, "gum band" science where they heat up when you stretched. This week we are going to find out ...

It isn’t that Tim Gardner has nothing to do. He has a job at Walmart and a steady girlfriend. But the Lehighton man still finds time to knot thousands and thousands of rubber bands together and ...

Researchers have developed a cheap and easy method for assembling nanowires, controlling their alignment and density. The researchers hope the findings will foster additional research into a range of ...

Students stretch pre-cut rubber bands to their lips, stretch the rubber bands, and then allow them to contract. The rubber bands grow warmer as they expand and cool as they contract. To Conduct ...

Researchers have increased the fatigue threshold of particle-reinforced rubber, developing a new, multiscale approach that allows the material to bear high loads and resist crack growth over repeated ...

Diginfo reports on a curious new technology from Tokai Rubber Industries: the first all-rubber speaker. Besides the fact that they’re visually arresting—the video below will make you do a double ...
