A new rotational multimaterial 3D printing method enables materials to bend, twist, expand or contract on demand.

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

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 team of researchers has designed materials that can control and mold a balloon into pre-programmed shapes. The system uses kirigami sheets -- thin sheets of material with periodic cuts -- embedded ...

Researchers have made tiny shape-shifting machines that morph into different forms one after another in response to magnetic fields (Nature 2019, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1713-2). This sophisticated ...

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 ...

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 ...
