Dresden-based researchers are developing a new class of materials whereby actuators and sensors are integrated directly into flexible fiber composites. The German Research Foundation (DFG) approved a 2nd phase of Research Training Group…

Researchers are using origami as the inspiration to create programmable surfaces that alter the physical properties of a uniform substance across a range of directions. Published in Advanced Materials, they describe programmable…

When humans design, they tend to use solutions-based approaches that begin with a needs analysis. They then re-frame the problem, brainstorm ideas, and move on to prototype and test. By showing AI agents progressions in design modification…
