Soft robots still tend to rely on hard electronics to function, but a new invention might reduce that need for unyielding chips. UC Riverside researchers have developed pneumatic computer memory that ...

Engineers from the University of California Riverside have revealed a new creation that is designed to control the movements of soft robots. The engineers revealed an air-powered computer memory ...

For the right person, there’s nothing like tucking yourself into a plush and pillowy mattress at bedtime. Side and back sleepers, individuals under 150 pounds and people with joint pain especially ...

An "air-powered" memory helped a soft robot to play the piano, using a technology called "pneumatic RAM" that uses atmospheric pressures to communicate the binary codes needed to function. The product ...

Memory foam mattresses have an illustrious history. NASA researchers working to design improved protective cushioning for passengers and pilots originally developed memory, or temper, foam in the ...

Engineers at UC Riverside have unveiled an air-powered computer memory that can be used to control soft robots. The innovation overcomes one of the biggest obstacles to advancing soft robotics: the ...

Sleep. It's arguably the best state of being, just ask my cat. But a good night's sleep requires many things—the best pajamas, a good memory foam mattress or soft mattress (depending on your ...

Engineers made a pneumatic RAM chip using microfluidic valves instead of electronic transistors. The valves remain sealed against a pressure differential even when disconnected from an air supply line ...
