Lasers reconfigure soft electronics and robots

Original: Destroy to transform: Lasers reconfigure soft electronics and robots

Researchers report a laser-based technique that deliberately destroys and restructures materials so soft electronics and soft robots can be reconfigured into new forms. The approach, described in a newly publicised study, could allow flexible devices and machines to change function after fabrication rather than being fixed at manufacture. Details of the research team and institutions are not yet widely circulated.

Why now: A new study publicised via a science news service has drawn attention to an unusual destroy-and-rebuild approach in soft robotics.
