The capability of stiffness manipulation for materials and structures is essential for tuning
motion, saving energy, and delivering high power. However, high-efficiency in situ stiffness …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of active, deformable materials that can switch
between a temporary shape, which can be freely designed, and their original shape. With …

Programmable shape-shifting materials can take different physical forms to achieve
multifunctionality in a dynamic and controllable manner. Although morphing a shape from …
