Shape-shifting materials: Extreme deformation of particle rafts

Written by
Professor Ho-Young Kim has built and modelled particle rafts and soft materials using electronic fields which could be used in soft robotics or biomedicine

How can we bend matter to our will? Folding patterns, as employed in origami, imply severely limited shape-shifting possibilities. These soft materials also need to have the right shape-morphing properties to be useful for their desired application. Professor Ho-Young Kim at Seoul National University has been building and modelling particle rafts – new soft composite interfaces with superior deformability, that […]
