Researchers created a programmable thermal material that steers heat and retains its state without power, a breakthrough that ...

A new review proposes that crystallographic texture is becoming a design variable in metal additive manufacturing.

Researchers have developed a technique to 3D-print materials with customizable mechanical properties that can also sense how they are moving and interacting with their environment. Their method only ...

This is a summary of a story that originally appeared on the Pratt School of Engineering. Mechanical engineers at Duke University have made a breakthrough in programmable materials that can be ...

A newly developed material can control and "program" heat, allowing it to direct thermal radiation, switch modes, and ...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and their collaborators have created a new class of programmable soft materials that can absorb impacts like never before, while also ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Imagine a material that doesn’t just respond to one stimulus, like heat or light, but can sense multiple environmental triggers and adjust its behavior accordingly. Picture this ...

A team of researchers at the University of Ottawa and its Nexus for Quantum Technologies Institute, in collaboration with ...

Smart materials respond to external stimuli, but usually only in a preprogrammed way. For example, soft matter equipped with responsive components can switch between designed shapes or structures.
