The 2D precursor is then attached to a pre-stretched elastomer and assembled into 3D mesostructure after stress release. Under a static magnetic field, the METM demonstrates high-order deformation.

In this tutorial, we will discuss how to morph one shape into another shape using the Morph Transition. The Morph Transition allows users to animate smooth movements from one slide to the next.

Flat materials that can morph into three-dimensional shapes have potential applications in architecture, medicine, robotics, space travel, and much more. But programming these shape changes ...

Your eyes don't deceive you: researchers have created an actual humanoid shape-shifting robot — or in their parlance, "shape-morphing" — capable of liquefying and then reforming itself again ...

U.S. military aircraft may one day mimic the Hollywood special effects of Batman Begins with wings that change from pliable to rigid and back again or that expand and contract on demand. Two ...

The morphing wheel consists of an outer hoop of a chain and a series of spoke wires running through the hub. The stiffness of the spokes - and hence the wheel - is automatically regulated by a ...

Engineering researchers have demonstrated a new type of flexible, robotic grippers that are able to lift delicate egg yolks without breaking them, and that are precise enough to lift a human hair ...
