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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered, for the first time, a series of physical properties existing in polymer microfiber networks, among them "shape memory." These discoveries open the ...

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 ...

Morphing materials Current shape-changing fibers have pitfalls that have largely prevented them from being incorporated into textiles beyond laboratory settings. One fiber, known as a shape-changing ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...
