ABSTRACT Under conditions of the influence of space environment factors, the thin-walled load-carrying transformable-volume structures are subjected to volumetric deformation and long-time exposure to ...

The MIT School of Architecture’s Self-Assembly Lab has teamed up with Google to create Transformable Meeting Spaces, a project that utilizes woven structure research in wood and fiberglass pods that ...

The rapid development of radio frequency (RF) components requires smart multifunctional materials that can adapt their physical shapes and properties according to the environment. While most current ...

Imagine a house that could fit in a backpack or a wall that could become a window with the flick of a switch. Harvard researchers have designed a new type of foldable material that is versatile, ...

Have you ever imaged high-resolution 3D structures at the micro/nanoscale that react dynamically to their surroundings? The 4D printing technology is changing the game by using smart materials that ...

An exhibition of models based on transformable structures is on display at the Temple Buell Art Gallery in the Architecture Building from Monday to Wednesday. The exhibition, “How Structures Move: ...

Abstract. Strip material, which is forming specific patterns, is widely used in architecture and engineering to generate highly efficient, but lightweight and therefore sustainable structures. We know ...

Researchers examine how biology triggers morphological changes in certain types of nanoparticles. These types of particles are called smart transformable nanoparticles, because they can alter their ...
