Smart materials in dentistry [PDF]
AbstractMost dental materials are designed to have a relatively ‘neutral’ existence in the mouth. It is considered that if they are ‘passive’ and do not react with the oral environment they will be more stable and have a greater durability. At the same time, it is hoped that our materials will be well accepted and will cause neither harm nor injury ...

One Soft Step: Bio-Inspired Artificial Muscle Mechanisms for Space Applications
Soft robots, devices with deformable bodies and powered by soft actuators, may fill a hitherto unexplored niche in outer space. All space-bound payloads are heavily limited in terms of mass and volume, due to the cost of launch and the size of spacecraft.

Smart material interfaces [PDF]
Over the past years the technology push and the creation of new technological materials made available on the market many new smart materials. Smart Material Interfaces (SMIs) want to take advantage of these materials to overcome traditional patterns of interaction, leaving behind the "digital feeling" by a more continuous space of interaction, tightly
