Researchers have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes -- 'microbot origami' -- to change their shape when actuated by a magnetic field and then, ...

Explore the magic of origami, from its rich history to basic folds, and start your paper folding journey with this engaging guide. Have you ever wondered how a simple piece of paper can be transformed ...

The plastic suits start out flat, but when heated fold over the robot to transform it into a specialised machine. Researchers suggest their adaptable suit-wearing robots could one day be used to build ...

Harvard researchers have designed a foldable material that they say can change size, volume and shape while being versatile, tunable and self actuated. The material is said to be able to fold flat to ...

A new type of material based on folding cubes can be programmed to change its shape, size and stiffness, collapsing into a flat sheet that can be driven over before popping back up again. Engineers ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University and Duke University have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes - "microbot origami" - to change their ...
