Because research extends beyond the projects we directly conduct, our researchers also keep a close eye on major emerging scientific topics. This page highlights key areas at the forefront of current scientific debate, reflecting an active monitoring effort and a constant intellectual curiosity. It illustrates our commitment to staying connected to scientific developments and to understanding their broader implications, beyond our current research focus.
4D printing is an emerging technology that extends the capabilities of traditional 3D printing by enabling printed objects to change their shape, properties, or function over time as 4th dimension, thus 4D printing. The change occurs in response to external stimuli such as heat, moisture, light, or magnetic fields.
