Stanford revolutionizing material science wih shapeshifting nanoparticles

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 26, 2024
Stanford University researchers have pioneered the use of 3D nanoprinting to create nanoparticles that could usher in a new era of shapeshifting materials. The research, led by Assistant Professor Wendy Gu of the mechanical engineering department, focuses on the fabrication of Archimedean truncated tetrahedrons (ATTs), a geometric shape long theorized to have significant phase-changing capabilit
