91ɬ�� researchers create shapeshifting materials that could power the next generation of soft robots

admin — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:59:18 +0000

91ɬ�� engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.

In Memoriam: Robert Lee

Visualizing how polarons form in the best thermoelectric material yet developed

angadh.verma@mcgill.ca — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 18:52:36 +0000

Thermoelectrics can generate electrical power from waste heat and could make an important contribution to sustainable energy production if their efficiency is improved. Engineering efficient thermoelectrics, however, requires a sophisticated understanding of the fundamental interdependencies between electrical and thermal transport, for which improvements in our understanding of how charge carriers are coupled to lattice vibrations (phonons) is needed.
