By using CLCEs, the team could 3D print flexible structures with a special ink that changes color when stressed. This color ...

In a breakthrough for smart materials, scientists from several top institutions have developed a new 3D printing method to ...

LLNL researchers are pioneering a coaxial DIW method for 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs).

By using CLCEs, the team could 3D print flexible structures with a special ink that changes color when stressed. This color change acts as a visual signal, showing how the structure is being used ...
