Join us for the next #livMatS colloquium! Alfred Crosby (University of Massachusetts) will address autonomous, control-enhanced movements of systems & the development of #materials with self-regenerating, sustained responses.

Attractions at the stand included demonstrations of soft robotic grippers & walkers, a #SoftRobot flipper, and experiments on #polymers for example with gummy bear slime. We could see the fascination in the eyes of many children, and we experienced how important this insight into #science is. ✨

Super Materials at the Science Days 2025 🦸‍♂️ From October 23 to 25, we took part in the 25th annual #ScienceDays at Europa-Park Rust. 🧪 🎢 Visitors were able to immerse themselves in the world of #MaterialsScience at the #livMatS stand, where they could learn about real super materials.

Sensors allow soft #robots to interact with their environment. These #sensors often rely on electronic components, which increases the systems complexity and reduces robustness.

Falk Tauber and his team at #livMatS developed a #3D-printed, electronics-free sensory system for a #SoftRobot. (1/2)

For the next #livMatS colloquium, Niko Münzenrieder from the Freie Universität Bozen will share his work on next generation flexible electronics and the role materials can play in that vision. @edomil.bsky.social

At this week's #livMatS Colloquium André Studart from @ethz.ch will explore the question of whether the evolutionary processes of #biology can be harnessed to create #materials more sustainably while still meeting engineering needs. Join us @ FIT Freiburg.

Reaction cycle mimics biological process: Charalampos Pappas, Kun Dai & @lenardsaile.bsky.social showed in an experiment,that amino acids can organize themselves selectively into #peptide #oligomers without the need for enzymes. #chemsky #systemschemistry
