Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a range of unique, shape-changing structures, which can be used as roll-up display screens (such as laptop screens), re-usable packaging, ...

Researchers have recently developed a flexible-yet-sturdy morphing structure inspired by the starfish skeleton that exhibits 4D morphing features with promising applications for robotics, aviation, ...

Bistable composite laminates are an emerging class of engineered structures that can exist in two distinct stable configurations without continuous energy input. This inherent multistability is ...

LONDON — Roll-up screens could be enabled by developments in the control of solid structures made at the Cambridge University Engineering Department. Keith Seffen, a lecturer in the Structures Group ...

The researchers who developed self-tying sutures that change shape when exposed to light have now made morphing structures that can take on three consecutive shapes in response to changes in ...

A recent article published in Scientific Reports proposed a four-dimensional (4D) morphing structure inspired by the starfish’s unique ability to maintain flexibility and posture while expending ...

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 ...

Engineers have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial using Kirigami, which is the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper to obtain 3-D shapes. Engineers from the University of Bristol ...

Aviation Partners FlexSys, in discussions with four OEMs about possibilities, has identified a KC-135 inboard flap as one of the first applications. With the pliability of modern aircraft skin ...
