Although we have seen "morphing" structural materials before, they typically incorporate solenoids, pumps or motors that add weight and complexity. Now, however, scientists have developed a carbon ...

Organization-wise, Gurit merges Engineered Structures and Automotive to form the new Composite Components business unit focused on land transportation component applications in the premium automotive, ...

In material science, thermal expansion is a very well understood concept. However, in most cases it’s regarded as somewhat of a nuisance. It’s the kind of thing that gives engineers headaches, and ...

Researchers have developed a way to fabricate a new type of wing that can change its shape in flight for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cheaply and efficiently using a novel 4D-printing process, they ...

A new 3-D printing method has been developed to create objects that can permanently transform into a range of different shapes in response to heat. A team of researchers from Georgia Institute of ...

Scientists have developed a new method for 4D printing which enables production of objects fixed in one shape that can later be changed to take on a new shape. The 4D printing concept, which allows ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI https://doi.org/10.29026/oea.2022.210021 discusses how deep learning makes single-shot, high-resolution ...
