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 ...

If you insert a shape in PowerPoint and you want to change it into another different shape without having to delete it or insert another shape into the slide, you can use the Change Shape feature that ...

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 ...

For example, a scaffold in the shape of an ear seeded with cells capable of producing cartilage and skin tissue may eventually become a transplantable ear. However, a geometrically static scaffold ...

DS-CAN-based magnetic micropillar arrays allow reversible, on-demand, and contactless shape reconfiguration and shape fixation, through exposure to ultraviolet light at room temperature or upon ...

New hydrogel-based materials that can change shape in response to psychological stimuli, such as water, could be the next generation of materials used to bioengineer tissues and organs, according to a ...
