Lumotive and Neurophos are tackling different problems in AI ...

Cutting patterns into elastic materials allows you to unfold those materials into new shapes, and researchers have now ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists develop double-network metamaterials that are both strong and stretchy, inspired by hydrogels and soft matter design.

Cornell researchers are proposing a new way to modulate both the absorptive and the refractive qualities of metamaterials in real time, and their findings open intriguing new opportunities to control, ...

It seems like the stuff of science fiction movies – a cloaking device to make objects invisible, a super lens that can see sharp details far below the wavelength of light. Those are the glamour ...

Leiden physicists Daniela Kraft and Julio Melio have created soft structures that can take on different shapes without any external drive in their lab. They present their research on microscale ...
