What can one expect from 3D printing an 8″ Newtonian telescope? [Molly Wakeling] shares her thoughts after doing exactly that ...

Rising rates of heart rhythm problems are colliding with an aging population and crowded hospitals. At the same time, many people still rely on bulky monitors and sticky disposable patches to track ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

Most currently existing mechanical metamaterial designs are based on Bravais lattices. These consist of parallelogram or parallelepiped unit cells, which are respectively translated along two or three ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

An origami-inspired ‘metamaterial’ has been engineered to have properties not found in natural materials — enabling it to undergo large, reversible deformations. Read the paper: Modular chiral origami ...

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 ...

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 ...

MUMBAI: In a groundbreaking effort to promote voter awareness and participation, the Systematic Voters' Education and Electoral Participation Cell (SVEEP) of Kamrup Election District has partnered ...

Bengaluru: Whether it’s the knob of an automobile gear stick or a complex spare part for the engine of a fighter aircraft, 3D printing can help bring down production time and cost considerably. In a ...
