Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...
The nature-inspired metal material could enable shape-shifting wings that adjust themselves for smoother flight.
Andres Arrieta handles a sample of the multistable structures that he and his research group at Purdue University are currently experimenting with to develop hypersonic systems that morph in response ...
Back in 2016 we looked at an interesting project out of Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where researchers had taken inspiration from birds to produce a feathered drone ...
Researchers at CU Boulder have created tiny, microorganism-inspired particles that can change their shape and self-propel, ...
