Apr 22, 2025 Magnetic composite with stiffness control allows programmable 3D shape shifting for use in soft robots, tactile interfaces, and reconfigurable displays. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cephalopods such as cuttlefish and octopuses adjust the texture of their skin by raising or flattening small muscle-controlled structures known as papillae. These changes in...
First-ever real-time visualization of nanoscale domain response may boost ultrasound imaging technology
Apr 22, 2025 Researchers successfully visualized how tiny structures inside one of these crystals respond to electric fields in real time - shedding light on the dynamics of nanostructure in materials used in ultrasound probes. (Nanowerk News) Ultrasound imaging is one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in modern...
