Chemotherapy successfully treats many forms of cancer, but the side effects can wreak havoc on the rest of the body. Delivering drugs directly to cancer cells could help reduce these unpleasant ...

A team of engineers at Rice University and Kyung Hee University has developed a soft, shape-shifting mechanical surface that ...

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 ...

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 ...

The strategy allowed complete recovery on removing the denaturant and this transition was highly repeatable, but polyelectrolyte adsorption was irreversible and resulted in a change in stiffness. In ...

Most robots are designed for a specific job, and aren’t very adaptable. But engineers at Virginia Tech have now developed a soft robot that can morph into a range of shapes, such as driving, flying or ...

Researchers created a new pasta shaping technique that allowed this noodle to transform from a straight to curlicue after seven minutes in boiling water. Morphing Matter Lab. Carnegie Mellon ...

Lockheed Martin’s morphing unmanned air vehicle has entered windtunnel testing under a US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programme to demonstrate long loiter time and high dash ...
