A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...
Scientists have developed a new material that converts motion into electricity (piezoelectricity) with greater efficiency and without using toxic lead - paving the way for a new generation of devices ...
A phosphorescent liquid-crystal elastomer combines shape change with persistent afterglow, enabling soft materials that visibly track motion, encode hidden patterns and respond to heat or targeted ...
