Rice husks are an agricultural by-product of the Asian agriculture and Italian risotto rice production. This type of silica ...

A micro-scale gripper uses a liquid-permeable surface to handle fragile components like chips and thin films without applying ...

Get your first 10 PCBs for free at <a href=" I've been thinking about building a jamming or 'beanbag' gripper for some time. This gripper uses a flexible membrane full of granular material which can ...

Chan’s lab found materials spread over compacted layers underperformed by 41% in grip tests. Use a broadcast spreader for granular products like sand or non-clumping clay variants, maintaining 3–4 ...

Chalkless Grip Enhancer: Who Are They and What Do They Do? During the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea for Chalkless took birth in the minds of two experts in different fields — Greg Pope, a chemical ...

In lab-made granular materials, scientists have so far been able to fine tune their 'liquid' flow properties, but the 'solid' compressibility properties have remained rather robust.

The gripper itself is essentially a balloon filled with granular material, in this case coffee grounds. This squishy balloon hand conforms to whatever object it touches. When the air is sucked out ...

Understanding the way a wave moves through granular materials—after an earthquake, for example—has vast implications for modern science. After all, scientists use stress wave propagation through ...
