A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into ...
Engineers have developed a 'Chinese lantern' structure that can shape-shift into various three-dimensional forms on command.
Researchers have created a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can snap into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes by compressing or twisting the original structure. This rapid shape-shifting ...
This rapid shape-shifting behaviour can be controlled remotely using a magnetic field. The basic lantern object is made by cutting a polymer sheet into a diamond-like parallelogram shape, then cutting ...
Researchers at NC State develop a magnetic Chinese lantern that snaps into multiple shapes. This shape-shifting device, ...
