Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China developed a new robot that's made by layering a polyethylene film onto a glass layer and an adding a layer of graphene that is used to convert photothermal energy from infra red light. The robot can pick, move and drop objects. Such a design may be useful for surgery, for example. It can also inspire the design of transparent artificial muscles:…

Korean researchers fabricated a stretchable, transparent graphene-based transistor. They say that the new to transistor overcomes some of the problems faced by transistors made of conventional semiconductor materials - which simply cannot be made stretchable and transparent on substrates such as rubber slabs or balloons.



The graphene based transistors could be stretched up to 5% for 1,000 times and still maintain their good electrical properties. In one experiment, the researchers…
