Scientists Develops Stretchable Rubber Material “Thubber” for Stretchable Machines 

Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a thermally (उष्मा इकाई के रूप मे) conductive rubber material which is an innovative discovery for creating soft, stretchable machines and electronics. Thubberii .The findings were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of

Sciences. As per the report, the material named as ‘thubber’ is an electrically insulating composite which represents a combination of metal-like thermal conductivity and elasticity. It can stretch over six times its initial length. It can be used in applications such as wearable computing and soft robotics, which require mechanical compliance(अनुपालन) and stretchable functionality. The major ingredient (घटक) in thubber is a suspension of non-toxic liquid metal microdroplets. The liquid state allows the metal to deform with the surrounding rubber at room temperature.

When the rubber is pre-stretched(फैला) , the droplets form elongated (लम्बी) pathways that are efficient for heat travel. Despite the amount of metal, the materia.
