Inspired by the electric eel, researchers from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have developed 3D-printed hydrogels that could generate up to 110 volts of electricity in an instant. The rows of gels contain positively and negatively charged ions that combine together to mimic the eel”s cellular structure. Unlike typical batteries, these systems are soft,
An international team of researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Akron, French National Center for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), French University of Upper Alsace (Université de Haute-Alsace), and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) have produced a biocompatible synthetic material that replicates tissue mechanics and
Microbiologists led by Derek Lovley at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who is internationally known for having discovered electrically conducting microfilaments or “nanowires” in the bacterium Geobacter, announce in a new paper this month that they have discovered the unexpected structures in many other species, greatly broadening the research field on electrically conducting filaments.
