Light-sensitive shape-shifters are swell gels Polymer chemists have successfully emulated the natural shape-shifting abilities of biological tissues, which could allow them to develop a new range of functional materials that change shape reversibly in response to particular stimuli. mark for My Articles similar articles

3D printer uses gel matrix to tie the knot Researchers have found a way to 3D print 'impossible' shapes -- including a thin tube tied in a knot -- out of soft materials by injecting the inks into a gel that solidifies and traps them in place. mark for My Articles similar articles

Growing a microgarden This beautiful flower hasn't grown in a field or a greenhouse, but has instead grown out of a solution of barium chloride and sodium metasilicate. The shapes are controlled by altering CO 2 concentrations, pH and temperature. mark for My Articles similar articles

Using Host-Guest Chemistry as Molecular Velcro Molecular recognition, a microscopic process, has been used by Japanese researchers to assemble gels into macroscopic structures. The result is like molecular velcro, the molecules catch each other and hold the gel cubes together. mark for My Articles similar articles
