Although we have seen "morphing" structural materials before, they typically incorporate solenoids, pumps or motors that add weight and complexity. Now, however, scientists have developed a carbon ...

Back in 2016 we looked at an interesting project out of Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where researchers had taken inspiration from birds to produce a feathered drone ...

When you need a model for how to make something that flies, there’s no need to look to science fiction. Nature’s got plenty of examples. A pretty good one? Birds. Flying is kind of their thing (for ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

A swift adapts the shape of its wings to the immediate task at hand: folding them back to chase insects, or stretching them out to sleep in flight. Scientists have shown how 'wing morphing' makes ...

Researchers created a new pasta shaping technique that allowed this noodle to transform from a straight to curlicue after seven minutes in boiling water. Morphing Matter Lab. Carnegie Mellon ...

Face morphing is a digital image synthesis technique that blends two or more facial images to create a new, non-existent face that resembles both individuals. This process is commonly used in special ...
