WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 -- The American Association for the Advancement of Science issued the following news release:
Scientists have constructed a series of eco-friendly soft robots that can self-heal on demand, leaving almost no traces of weakness at the location of their "scars."
Their self-healing power relies on the material they are composed of: a rubbery polymer that has all the classic characteristics of soft robotic bodies -- flexibility, elasticity and o . . .
