flexible electronics

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to identify different process recipes that produce carbon nanotube forests with matching structures. The finding suggests multiple manufacturing routes can yield the same nanotube architecture, which could make production more flexible and reliable for electronics, materials and other applications that depend on precisely structured nanotubes.

The Robot Talk podcast is inviting listeners to send in questions for an upcoming conversation with Zlatka, a guest working on flexible electronics for robots. The host is asking what people would most like to know about the field, which covers bendable, stretchable materials that could let robots move and sense in new ways. It is a call for audience participation ahead of the episode's recording.
