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.
