The design team at Kontax Engineering Ltd have returned to Kickstarter this month to launch their new very unique Tensegrity iPhone stand. The tension design makes the stand look as though it is ...

Over the past few months something you may have seen pop up on multiple places on the internet is “floating” or “levitating” platforms which are seemingly held aloft by some strands of rope or string.

This investigation by Kuan-Ting Lai, developed as part of his thesis on Reconfigurable Systems of Tensegrity at the University of Stuttgart, is an exploration of the capabilities of structural ...

Through his extensive research, inventions and structural experiments, Buckminster Fuller created the term tensegrity to describe "self-tensioning structures composed of rigid structures and cables, ...

If you’ve been on the internet in the past few weeks you may have come across a new word together with some scarcely believable images and videos. That word is tensegrity and the media attached to it ...

Researchers have developed a method for optimizing the initial tension of strings in tensegrity structures as well as a second technique to maximize the strength and minimize the weight of the rods ...

Tensegrity structures, characterised by the interplay of discontinuous compression elements and continuous tension elements, have emerged as a promising design paradigm in robotics. These ...
