Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)Aug 9 2024 A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal ...

Shape-memory metals, which can revert from one shape to a different one simply by being warmed or otherwise triggered, have been useful in a variety of applications, as actuators that can control the ...

Unveiling Dynamic Shape-Morphing Smartphone sized OLED Panel with Built-In Speaker -- All While Maintaining Ultra-Thin Flexibility. A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and ...

Inspired by the paper-folding art of origami, North Carolina State University engineers have discovered a way to make a single plastic cubed structure transform into more than 1,000 configurations ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...

Magnetic composite with stiffness control allows programmable 3D shape shifting for use in soft robots, tactile interfaces, and reconfigurable displays. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cephalopods such as ...

Engineers have created shape-memory materials made of ceramic rather than of traditional metal. The development opens a new range of applications, especially for actuators in high-temperature settings ...

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 ...
