In recent decades, origami has been explored to aid in the design of engineering structures.
These structures span multiple scales and have been demonstrated to be used toward …

Shape-morphing structures that can reconfigure their shape to adapt to diverse tasks are
highly desirable for intelligent machines in many interdisciplinary fields. Shape memory …

Soft robots have the appealing advantages of being highly flexible and adaptive to complex
environments. However, the low‐stiffness nature of the constituent materials makes soft …

One achievement we can be proud of is that the current edition, the sixth, has returned to the
place where this scientific event originated, and takes place in the year in which the …

Shape memory polymer (SMP) and SMP composites (SMPC) can memorize the permanent
shape and recover from the temporary shape to the permanent shape when stimulated by …

We present a new 4D printing approach that can create high resolution (up to a few
microns), multimaterial shape memory polymer (SMP) architectures. The approach is based …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs), as a class of programmable stimuli-responsive shape
changing polymers, are attracting increasing attention from the standpoint of both …

Recent advances in three dimensional (3D) printing technology that allow multiple materials
to be printed within each layer enable the creation of materials and components with …

Folding is ubiquitous in nature with examples ranging from the formation of cellular
components to winged insects. It finds technological applications including packaging of …
