Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

The shape of an antenna’s front end dictates many of its operating parameters. Once it’s manufactured, those characteristics are locked in. A shape-changing antenna would enable communications across ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

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 ...
