University of Michigan Researchers Develop Durable, Inexpensive Ice Repellent Coating

Ice is considered a nuisance on a car’s windshield, but it is dangerous on an airplane, a ship, oil rig, a wind turbine, or a power line. While methods like hammers, scrapers or chemical melting agents are often used to remove ice, these are labor-intensive, complicated, and costly processes.

Harvard Researchers Develop Self-Actuated 3D Material with Controllable Shape and Size

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a versatile 3D material that bends, folds, and shrinks on its own. The foldable, tunable, and self actuated material is capable of changing shape, size, and volume. When folded flat it is strong enough to withstand an elephant’s weight without breaking, and bounces back to prepare for the subsequent task.
