A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed. A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could ...

Responsive materials that morph and adapt like biological systems are non-trivial to design and manufacture. Researchers developed a co-design framework that unites AI, physics, and 3D printing into ...

These novel materials can change, fix, and retain their shape reversibly by using magnetic fields and ultraviolet light. (Nanowerk News) Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical ...

The new metamaterials can learn to take on any shape – here, they have learned the letters that spell ‘learn’, or in Dutch: ‘leren’. In a new Nature Physics publication, University of Amsterdam ...

Inspired by the shape-shifting skin of octopuses, Penn State researchers developed a smart hydrogel that can change appearance, texture, and shape on command. The material is programmed using a ...
