ɬ�﷬ researchers create shapeshifting materials that could power the next generation of soft robots

ɬ�﷬ — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:59:18 +0000

ɬ�﷬ engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.
