The strategy allowed complete recovery on removing the denaturant and this transition was highly repeatable, but polyelectrolyte adsorption was irreversible and resulted in a change in stiffness. In ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The team used their new printing method to encode a photo of the Mona Lisa onto their "smart skin" material (left). The photo, ...

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 ...

Advances in the fields of soft robotics, wearable technologies, and human/machine interfaces require a new class of stretchable materials that can change shape adaptively while relying only on ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
