Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The researchers ...
Although we have seen "morphing" structural materials before, they typically incorporate solenoids, pumps or motors that add weight and complexity. Now, however, scientists have developed a carbon ...
( Nanowerk News) Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil – from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, ...
Scientists have created a liquid crystal elastomer that can be molded into shapes that shift from one to another when heated. The material is intended for biomedical and robotics applications. Rice ...
Chemotherapy successfully treats many forms of cancer, but the side effects can wreak havoc on the rest of the body. Delivering drugs directly to cancer cells could help reduce these unpleasant ...
In 2014 and 2015, at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, a strange-looking twin-boom aircraft ...
Most robots are designed for a specific job, and aren’t very adaptable. But engineers at Virginia Tech have now developed a soft robot that can morph into a range of shapes, such as driving, flying or ...
A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed the world's first smartphone-type OLED panel that can freely transform its shape while simultaneously functioning ...
Researchers created a new pasta shaping technique that allowed this noodle to transform from a straight to curlicue after seven minutes in boiling water. Morphing Matter Lab. Carnegie Mellon ...
Rice University scientists have created a rubbery, shape-shifting material that morphs from one sophisticated form to another on demand. The shapes programmed into a polymer by materials scientist ...
