In a new move, researchers have shown that protein design software can incorporate motion into its outputs. The resulting protein gives a wave with one arm as it binds and releases a calcium ion ...
Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...
A new battery could soon reshape how we power wearables, medical devices, and soft robotics. Scientists at Linköping University in Sweden have developed a stretchy battery that stays functional even ...
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 ...
During the early stages of life, organs do not just appear in their final form. They take shape through a process of controlled bending, twisting, and folding. These changes help cells organize into ...
Researchers led by Yong Lin Kong of Rice University have created a soft yet powerful metamaterial that can be remotely manipulated to change its size and shape swiftly. The idea, which was reported in ...
