When a user pulls the string, the structure moves smoothly into its final 3D form. If the user releases the string, the ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

Most of us expect materials to behave in a familiar way. When you pull on fabric, it stretches longer and becomes thinner. This is true for everyday materials like rubber, plastic, and most textiles.

Previous research in the field of auxetic fabrics has focused on fiber composites. These structures are naturally very stiff. This makes them suitable for applications where the material only needs to ...

The development of new materials based on industrial wastes has been the focus of much research for a sustainable world. The growing demand for tyres has been every year exacerbating environmental ...

A team of researchers at the National University of Singapore has successfully 3D printed an elastic “photonic skin” capable of generating light without the need for batteries or cables. Thanks to an ...

New advances in 3D printed ‘smart’ plastics with unusual deformation properties could lead to a new generation of materials designed to monitor their own condition in real time. An international team ...

An international research team from the Universities of Gothenburg and Isfahan has developed a new concept for bicycle helmets based on special geometric structures. The aim of the work was to ...
