the figurine could be steered through the narrow gaps of its locked cage by more magnets — demonstrating its morphability. It is the first time a material capable of both shifting shape and ...

A video of a shape-shifting robot shows it trapped in a cage, melting and then sliding through the bars where it reforms on the outside. Researchers led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong ...

“The first [topology optimization] step was to get the rough shape,” Berendes says, and this started with finite element analysis (FEA) modeling given the design space and crash and load requirements.

[18] The clinical literature comparing different cage shapes is limited, with only one paper reviewing the overall results in a single surgeon cohort. [14] However, some information can be gleaned ...
