PhD Student Albert Velasco Abadia was awarded the prestigious Materials Research Society (MRS) Graduate Student Gold Award for his research in using biological catalysts — also known as enzymes — for ...

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 ...

UK researchers have created the first smart fabric that can change shape and color in response to two different stimuli: heat and electricity. The development opens up new possibilities in various ...

These novel materials can change, fix, and retain their shape reversibly by using magnetic fields and ultraviolet light. (Nanowerk News) Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical ...

Inspired by the Portulaca oleracea seedcoat, metamaterials fabricated by laser powder bed fusion realized tunable in-plane mechanical properties, large deformation recovery capability and functional ...

DS-CAN-based magnetic micropillar arrays allow reversible, on-demand, and contactless shape reconfiguration and shape fixation, through exposure to ultraviolet light at room temperature or upon ...
