In addition to helping scientists understand how natural soft structures such as flower petals and embryos take shape, the technique could be used to make polymer actuators. These devices move in ...
Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a mathematical framework that can turn any sheet of material into any prescribed shape, ...
New research shows that microscale robots can be made from shape shifting 2D sheets. Itai Cohen and Itay Griniasty of Cornell University in the US have developed a mathematical technique for encoding ...
Researchers have created a class of robots made from thin sheets of material that can snap into hundreds of stable shapes, allowing them to execute a wide variety of actions despite the fact that they ...
Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) is a 3D printing method that builds objects by layering and cutting sheets of material.
Researchers have concocted something akin to edible origami, in the form of flat sheets of gelatin and starch that, when submerged in water, instantly sprout into three-dimensional structures, ...
‘INTELLIGENT’ temperature-controlling bed sheets and furniture which changes shape and COLOUR are among the incredible innovations which will be commonplace in the homes of the future, it has emerged.
