Scientists examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid. These mysterious droplets, known as ...

Most robots are designed for a specific job, and aren’t very adaptable. But engineers at Virginia Tech have now developed a soft robot that can morph into a range of shapes, such as driving, flying or ...

Experiments at SLAC's X-ray laser reveal in atomic detail how two distinct liquid phases in these materials enable fast switching between glassy and crystalline states that represent 0s and 1s in ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for shape changing at the material level. They use rubber, metal, and temperature to morph materials and fix them into place with no motors or pulleys.

A wave of transportation innovations debuted this month, including CATL’s 621‑mile Qilin EV battery with 15C fast charging, Germany’s AI‑controlled morphing aircraft wings, and Waymo’s lidar‑based ...

Researchers developed a rotational 3D printing method that builds lattices with programmable shape morphing, an advance that could quickly advance 4D printing.

Rutgers University Assistant Professor Zheng Shi and doctoral student Huan Wang, both of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, employ specialized tools to explore the property of ...
