Until now, when scientists created magnetic robots, their magnetization profiles were generally fixed, enabling only a specific type of shape programming capability using applied external magnetic ...

Flat materials that can morph into three-dimensional shapes have potential applications in architecture, medicine, robotics, space travel, and much more. But programming these shape changes requires ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)Aug 9 2024 Reviewed A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during ...

Figure 1: Illustration of the real-time in-situ magnetisation reprogramming method. (A) nesting of multiple tubes containing magnetic units into an integrated tube; (B) expansion of the number of ...
