Although we have seen "morphing" structural materials before, they typically incorporate solenoids, pumps or motors that add weight and complexity. Now, however, scientists have developed a carbon ...

This is not your average wheelchair. Researchers in South Korea have developed what they claim is a world first: a shapeshifting ‘morphing’ wheel. The technology shifts between rigid and soft states.

DAEJEON, South Korea (Reuters) - Imagine a wheelchair equipped with wheels flexible enough to navigate all manner of obstacles from kerbs to humps and even staircases. Or perhaps an unmanned delivery ...

Scientists have developed nanomaterials that can morph and shape shift, giving them futuristic properties, inspiring a number of applications across industries. Last year, researchers Rice University ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

A swift adapts the shape of its wings to the immediate task at hand: folding them back to chase insects, or stretching them out to sleep in flight. Scientists have shown how 'wing morphing' makes ...
