Researchers have created a synthetic fluid capable of changing its properties according to the pressure exerted on it. — Picture generated by OpenAI’s DALL·E/ETX MajelanNEW YORK, April 16 — Harvard researchers have developed an “intelligent” liquid whose properties vary according to the pressure exerted on it. This discovery could revolutionise many technological sectors, starting with robotics.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the USA have succeeded in developing a programmable metafluid whose elasticity and ability to change state are fully adjustable. The metafluid consists of small elastomer spheres, measuring between 50 and 500 microns in diameter, which are filled with air and suspended in silicon oil. When pressure is applied, they deform and modify the characteristics of the fluid.
This new class of fluids offers tremendous prospects, particularly in the field of robotics. Researchers are studying its impact on the optimisation of robotic hydraulic systems. This research could also be useful in the creation of flexible robots, capable of squeezing through tight spaces or adapting to complex environments.
