The induction of macroscopic changes in colour, shape, and functionality through designed nanoscale control can produce smart materials responding to chemical or physical triggers such as heat, light, ...

(Nanowerk News) Carbon-based stimuli-responsive nanomaterials are gaining much attention due to their versatility, including disease diagnosis and treatment. They work under endogenous (pH, ...

(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 ...

Responsive materials that morph and adapt like biological systems are non-trivial to design and manufacture. Researchers developed a co-design framework that unites AI, physics, and 3D printing into ...

UK researchers have created the first smart fabric that can change shape and color in response to two different stimuli: heat and electricity. The development opens up new possibilities in various ...
