Stanford revolutionizing material science wih shapeshifting nanoparticles
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
