Discover 🇫🇷 innovation at the London Design Biennale until 25 June... CNRS 🌍 physicist Benoît Roman discusses his team's work on shape memory materials and how it could have an innovative impact on manufacturing & design! #LBD23 Somerset House


With MePhy and Corentin Coulais, we're organizing a one-day thematic workshop at ESPCI Paris - PSL on Soft mechanical metamaterials on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. You can still register to take part in the workshop online! See details here (French time!) : mephysociety.wordpress.com/mephy-day-soft…



Pedro Reis Flexible Structures Laboratory @ EPFL has taken inspiration from his passion for climbing and secure knots for a study that uses X-ray micro-computed tomography and computer simulations to find the mechanics behind the perfect surgical knot for surgeons and robots. actu.epfl.ch/news/study-rev…

Le Flexible Structures Laboratory @ EPFL a publié une première étude sur la mécanique des nœuds chirurgicaux. Les résultats pourraient servir à former les chirurgiennes et chirurgiens à la réalisation de sutures plus solides et plus sûres. EPFL School of Engineering go.epfl.ch/crw68o


Learning from the master, learning from history, and having real fun: great project in engineering EPFL School of Engineering rebuilding some of Leonardo’s inventions! actu.epfl.ch/news/bringing-…



Very cool work Flexible Structures Laboratory @ EPFL ! Designing a braille reader using the snap buckling of bistable magnetic shells arxiv.org/pdf/2307.10933…


⚡️ Postdoc position in soft robotics, finite element analysis, and 3D printing SDU Soft Robotics We'll study 🐡 through robotics, materials, and biology Apply online until October 1, 2023: sdu.dk/en/service/led… Funded by HFSP Please contact [email protected] for inquiries


Fresh off the press! We exploit the tendency to warp in fused filament fabrication to make surfaces that heat deploy to bistable domes. Great to work with Mattis at Mesh AG, Yue Wang at UH Cullen College of Engineering, and Kristina at ETH Zurich. doi.org/10.1016/j.engs…




Thrilled to present Society of Engineering Science our work on the tangling of tumbled filaments with Flexible Structures Laboratory @ EPFL, in collab. with Vishal Stanford University & Jörn Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)! It's wonderful to catch up with friends and attend inspiring presentations. Excited for my poster presentation at FFS tomorrow.
