But one of the key hurdles when bringing origami or kirigami to engineering is that these techniques often make things rather ...

The tiny robots start out flat, thin wafers of layered silicon, gold and plastic. It’s the heat created by an electric current that makes them fold along etched grooves, bending themselves into ...

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...

Novel insight into the “Sareh twist” suggests that this mechanism underlying origami tessellations could become a key element in the design of origami-inspired structures for science and engineering ...

BEND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Origami Solar, the developer of sustainable and domestically produced steel solar module frames, today announced the appointment of Lauren Busby Ahsler, P.E., S.E., as ...

A multidisciplinary team has created a new fabrication technique for fully foldable robots that can perform a variety of complex tasks without relying on semiconductors. Roboticists have been using a ...

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. By infusing rubber-like elastomers with materials called ...

Honor has filed and published a new foldable patent that goes beyond today’s book-style devices and even the new wave of ...
