Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Yong Lin Kong have developed a soft but strong metamaterial that can be controlled remotely to rapidly transform its size and shape. Metamaterials are synthetic ...

The nature-inspired metal material could enable shape-shifting wings that adjust themselves for smoother flight.

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 ...

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the ...

Researchers have designed a flexible material that could pave the way for the development of adaptable space structures. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A group of scientists from Ohio State University developed a new shape-changing polymer that has the potential to revolutionize the construction of soft materials. The study was recently published in ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully measured the shape of an electron as it moves through a solid, opening a new window into understanding how electrons behave in different materials.
