With their ability to shapeshift and manipulate delicate objects, soft robots could work as medical implants, deliver drugs ...

Some spaces, like people, are simply waiting for their second act. For a rundown unit in Tsim Sha Tsui, this meant a total transformation into a modern pied à terre. Frank Chan first lived in the 500 ...

Someone has created a game that takes advantage of your folding phone’s hinge. The game is an origami simulator called “Kami.” The project is free, available online, and it’s open-source, so anyone ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another planet – they generally have the highest number of needs and the lowest ...

Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those of ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Nioh 3, the Warring States Period Soulslike, allows players to switch instantly between two different battle styles with the press of a button. Use Samurai Style if you want to fight with a solid, ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

Mechanical metamaterials are structures carefully designed to give rise to unique or unusual physical properties. Now a team has taken inspiration from origami to create a modular metamaterial system.

A team has used a process known as DNA origami to make electrochemical sensors that can quickly detect and measure biomarkers. Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have ...
