Researchers from Princeton and Caltech come up with a piezoelectric material that could harness body movements to charge consumer electronics--even pacemakers. Leslie Katz led a team that explored the ...

This drill-powered rubber-band gun can spit hundreds of stretchy, stinging projectiles in a few seconds. The rather weak rubber-bands it is loaded with have trouble taking out a pile of frail and ...

Engineers from Princeton University have developed power-generating rubber films that could be used to harness natural body movements such as breathing or walking in order to power electronic devices ...

You’ve got to enjoy any project where the hacker clearly loves what he or she is doing. And when the project is as cool as a motor-driven, rubber band powered, fully automatic crossbow, it’s hard not ...

I came across this project a while back, but I've been saving it for when it made more sense to be celebrating spring. Rubber bands make a great power source for lots of homemade toys, and this riff ...

DALLAS—For years, SBP Holdings L.P. has expanded its footprint of industrial distribution sites through a series of mergers and acquisitions. Going through the COVID-19 pandemic, the pace of those ...

Power-generating rubber films developed by Princeton University engineers could harness natural body movements such as breathing and walking to power pacemakers, mobile phones and other electronic ...
