stretchable robotic fingers for surgery decomposes in soil and becomes fertilizer

The body of the robotic fingers is built from polyglycerol sebacate, a synthetic elastomer made from glycerol and sebacic acid. Glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production while sebacic acid is derived from castor oil, and both of them are plant-based. Polyglycerol sebacate is safe since it is already used in medical implants because the body can absorb it without a toxic response.

Illustrated engineering in everyday objects

I take the product apart. CAD it up. Illustrate each view. Then animate and lay it out for the web. That sounds quick, but it does take me quite a bit of time to create each one.

How "tribology" became a new industrial science

the automation of heavy machinery enabled plants to operate continuously, increasing productivity and revenue. The downside was that any small hiccup was acutely felt, cascading through the production line. At first, it was assumed that inadequate lubrication of factory equipment was causing parts to seize up or break apart. And so, the Lubrication and Wear Group of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, along with the Iron

Surface optimization governs the local design of physical networks - Nature

The vascular system and the brain are examples of physical networks that differ from the networks typically studied in network science owing to the tangible nature of their nodes and links, which are made of material resources and constrain their layout. The importance of these material factors has been noted in many disciplines: as early as 1899, Ramón y Cajal suggested that we must consider the laws conserving the 'wire' volume to explain neuronal design8
