Important Innovations Collection: Shape Changing Material
New Metamaterials that Change Shape in 4D May Redefine Robots, Aircraft, Medical Devices Rutgers University Breakthrough Materials Science Scientists at Rutgers University have invented new metamaterials that don't exist in nature. The 4D printed materials are lightweight, flexible and can shift their shape and structure in response to temperature. The 4th dimension is time. Experts think this may enable new generations of aircraft, soft robots and small medical devices.
