Mechanical engineers at Duke University have developed solid building blocks whose mechanical properties can ...
Mechanical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a proof-of-concept method for programming mechanical properties into solid Lego-like building blocks. By controlling the solidity of hundreds ...
Electrically heated elements turn from solids to liquids to provide flexibility to robotic building blocks.
Metamaterials are composites with a very precisely controlled structure. It is this structure that determines the properties of the metamaterial, not the substances it is made of. Typically, a ...
