Since the WHO declared the current coronavirus a pandemic in March 2020, the need for vaccines to fight against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative pathogen, has become a global urgency of perhaps the most severe type. Pushed by relentless focus by governments and the solidarity shown in supporting vaccine development, several Covid-19 candidates entered the clinical trials phase. While some are still in the phase II/III, a dozen vaccines have been fortunate to get emergency authorization in different countries. These vaccines for have also been doled out in large numbers in countries where the morbidity has been high, such as in India. Subsequently, vaccine developers have joined hands to unveil novel drug delivery technologies. Another key stakeholder of this ecosystem is unarguably packaging companies, since an adequate packaging helps maintain the efficacy and also reduces wastage from

Abstract
Morphing structures are often engineered with stresses introduced into a flat sheet by leveraging structural anisotropy or compositional heterogeneity. Here, we identify a simple and universal diffusion-based mechanism to enable a transient morphing effect in structures with parametric surface grooves, which can be realized with a single material and fabricated using low-cost manufacturing methods (e.g., stamping, molding, and casting). We demonstrate from quantitative experiments and multiphysics simulations that parametric surface grooving can induce temporary asynchronous swelling or deswelling and can transform flat objects into designed, three-dimensional shapes. By tuning the grooving pattern, we can achieve both zero (e.g., helices) and nonzero (e.g., saddles) Gaussian curvature geometries. This mechanism allows us to demonstrate approaches that could improve the efficiency of certain food manufacturing processes and facilitate the sustainable packaging of food, for
