Energy storage usually brings to mind batteries, capacitors, tanks of hydrogen, or maybe some giant gravity system hauling ...

Scientists examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid. These mysterious droplets, known as ...

A method for forcing blobs of liquid metal to form programmable shapes could have startling applications Researchers from Sussex and Swansea Universities have invented a method for morphing a liquid ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – A bit reminiscent of the Terminator T-1000, a new material created by Cornell researchers is so soft that it can flow like a liquid and then, strangely, return to its original shape.

Researchers have developed a new approach for shape changing at the material level. They use rubber, metal, and temperature to morph materials and fix them into place with no motors or pulleys.

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 ...
