Paper by Chattopadhyay, Chase-Mayoral, and Keim investigates how adhesive tape encodes and retains mechanical state as a form of physical memory.
Key Takeaways
Research paper examining the “latching memory” phenomenon in adhesive tape, where mechanical history is stored in the material’s physical state.
Authors are Sebanti Chattopadhyay, Carys Chase-Mayoral, and Nathan C. Keim, suggesting an academic soft-matter or materials physics context.
Full source text is unavailable due to a bot-protection CAPTCHA on the publisher (IOP Publishing), so specific methods and results cannot be confirmed.
The framing around “latching” implies bistable or hysteretic behavior, relevant to mechanical computing and programmable matter research.
