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 ...

Drone technology is advancing rapidly, with nature-inspired designs leading the charge. The LIS Raptor, a drone equipped with morphing wings and a tail modeled after the northern goshawk, exemplifies ...

What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions ...

In modern research and development contexts, aerial robotics are expanding beyond their hobbyist origins. A forthcoming ...

Back in 2016 we looked at an interesting project out of Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where researchers had taken inspiration from birds to produce a feathered drone ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

Before Pacific Data Images (PDI) was bought by DreamWorks and became one of the powerhouses of CG animation with Antz and then Shrek, it was affectionately known as ‘the morphing house.’ That ...

Face morphing is a digital image synthesis technique that blends two or more facial images to create a new, non-existent face that resembles both individuals. This process is commonly used in special ...
