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 fiber composite that shifts shape with a simple shot of electricity.
This is a companion discussion for the article “Morphing carbon fiber composite changes shape on demand - https://newatlas.com/materials/shape-shifting-carbon-fiber/” submitted on the community's news feed.
