Oregon State University researchers are advancing 3D printing technology by creating shape-changing materials that act like artificial muscles. These liquid crystalline elastomers, or "soft motors," can crawl, fold, and snap immediately after printing. This flexibility makes them ideal for applications in robotics, biomedical devices, and energy systems—offering potential uses like targeted drug delivery and medical implants.
