Princeton engineers have developed a system for designers to mimic irregular natural structures like termite mounds or human ...

Princeton University researchers have developed a mathematical framework linking origami folding principles with tensegrity structures, enabling the creation of irregular yet mechanically reliable ...

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.

Kiri-origami structures combine the benefits of both origami and kirigami, incorporating their advantages while canceling their disadvantages, enabling the development of high-performance, stretchable ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

DNA, the medium of life, is so deeply associated with the biochemical world that considering its nonbiological applications may seem far-fetched. However, for researchers in the 1980s and 1990s ...

Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials. (Nanowerk News) Stretchable electronics are ...
