Harnessing failure as an asset: How researchers are innovating smarter wearable tech

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

A new study by mechanical engineers at Rice University explores how programmed failure in heat-sealable, sheet-based systems can be used to protect devices, enable complex sequencing of actions and streamline control mechanisms.

The research focuses on how thin, flexible sheets respond to pressure changes and, specifically, how they fail when internal pressures get too high.
