Late last week, a group of researchers from Harvard showed the public a thin, flexible and fully transparent speaker. To manufacture a prototype researchers used a material having ion conductivity. Thus, stretching dynamics does not lead to an increase in resistance and change its frequency of contractions . In addition, this material allows very fast charge transfer, allowing to work in a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
This development has great application prospects: very easy, for example, to provide TV, a sound system that is on top of the screen. However, engineers at Harvard tend to go much further. Demonstrated speaker was aimed at the creation of artificial muscles. All the materials used bio-compatible, and do not cause rejection. As a result, according to the intention of scientists will create an implant that replaces the damaged muscle, or perhaps reinforcing an existing one. Related Products :
