Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for precise, non-invasive diagnostic tools.

Move over fibre-glass casts, student-project turned startup Castomize is changing the game with their 4D printed, moldable and waterproof cast that helps patients to heal faster and in comfort.

A 4D printed microrobot integrates magnetic actuation, optical pH readout, and pH-triggered morphing to link navigation, measurement, and on-cue drug release. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tiny changes in body ...

4D printed objects change their shape or behaviour in response to stimuli such as time, heat, moisture and sound. Credit: joaorml via Shutterstock. 4D printing is an advanced technology that extends ...

Researchers are making significant strides in the 3D and 4D printing of electromagnetic metamaterials (EMMs), with implications for industries reliant on antennas, imaging systems, invisibility cloaks ...

A recent study published in Advanced Materials introduced a 4D printing method to create tubular moisture-responsive actuators called meta biocomposites. These structures use continuous flax fiber ...

Biggish Blue has just bagged a patent for a technology that uses 4D-printed smart materials to transport microscopic particles. For those who came in late, 4D printing takes 3D printing a step further ...

In the latest research in the field of materials science and engineering, researchers have made remarkable progress in the 3D and 4D printing of electromagnetic metamaterials (EMMs). This breakthrough ...

New and repurposed fabrication techniques for flexible electronic devices are proliferating rapidly. Some may wonder if they are better than traditional methods and at what point they’ll be ...

Abstract: 4D printed constructs (4DPC) can transform into different forms and shapes upon exposure to environmental stimuli. However, most 4DPC can only achieve simple deformation under specific ...
