Shape-Shifting Carbon Fiber Can Be Used in Aerodynamics, Robotics, and More

The revolutionary material could be used for wind turbine blades or airplane wings, amongst other uses.

Imagine seeing wind turbine blades changing shape to maximize their efficiency, or airplane wings moving by themselves without the use of hydraulic rudders or ailerons. Wouldn't it be so amazing?

These are only two of the many great uses a new carbon fiber material could bring to life thanks to a team of researchers in Sweden.
