DAEJEON, South Korea (Reuters) - Imagine a wheelchair equipped with wheels flexible enough to navigate all manner of obstacles from kerbs to humps and even staircases. Or perhaps an unmanned delivery ...

Although we have seen "morphing" structural materials before, they typically incorporate solenoids, pumps or motors that add weight and complexity. Now, however, scientists have developed a carbon ...

A whole new concept of aeroplane wing design has been developed by a team from MIT and NASA, which can morph during flight and is covered in a ‘skin’ that somewhat resembles fish scales. The ...

What if components in aircraft could morph in response to their external conditions, much like a bird changes the shape of its wings? And what if those components could function like an octopus arm, ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.
