4-D printing with shape-memory materials5

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

4-D printing with shape-memory materials5

Using a 3-D printer, researchers produce smart shape-memory materials with slightly different responses to heat. Heat from water in a tank activates the materials and begins the self-folding process. (Credit: Qi Laboratory, Georgia Tech)
