A team of researchers headed by Director Susumu Kitagawa, at Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS), has found that small porous materials increase in memory shape function as they get smaller. The study, published in Science, could have potential medical and engineering implications.
