CorPower Ocean of Sweden has unveiled its first commercial-scale wave energy harvester and a concept for supporting wind turbines. The harvester, dubbed C4 and rated at 300kW, will ultimately form part of HiWave-5 Project, a wave array off the coast of Aguçadoura, Portugal. The buoys are 19m tall and 9m in diameter. Inside the thin buoyant structure ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have grown a skin-like layered material from bio-materials found in human skin. The result, demonstrated on a robot finger, self-fits to the underlying structure, is flexible, soft to the touch, and shows some self-healing properties. A 3D printed three-jointed finger, later operated by nylon threads running through it, was used ...
