Researchers at RMIT have developed a new method for quickly converting carbon dioxide into solid carbon, which can be stored indefinitely or turned into useful materials. The technology works by ...

New stretchable fibers with liquid metal stay conductive when stretched 10x, ideal for smart wearables and robotics.

If you think polyimide-based flexible PCBs are cool, wait until you get a load of what polymerized liquid metal networks can do. Seems like [CNLohr] has some pretty cool friends, and he recently spent ...

Nanoporous metals show promising performances in electrochemical catalysis. The conventional fabrication methods for these nanoporous metals are chemical dealloying, electrochemical dealloying, and ...

The so-called liquid metal thermal compounds are well regarded for their heat conductivity, but they come with extra hazards. They are thus not the best choice for novice or nervous PC DIYers. This ...

A team of researchers at Tsinghua University in China have created a liquid metal material that is so light, it can float on water. The researchers created a mixture of the soft metals gallium and ...

Liquid metal catalysts show great promise for capturing carbon and cleaning up pollutants, requiring so little energy they can even be created in the kitchen. Forget the laboratory, substances that ...

Superfluids were first discovered as a special quantum state of liquid helium, later dubbed as "Superfluid helium" once chilled past -269 degree celsius, starts to manifest properties that do not ...

Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not wallowing in weird gear and iPad apps for cats, she can be found tinkering with her 1956 DeSoto. In good ...

Researchers created a novel functional composite of gallium with putty or paste-like physical properties. The composite possesses excellent electromagnetic shielding properties as well as thermal ...
