Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material ...

Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...

Could a flat piece of fabric hold a 3D shape, the way paper does in origami? Aiming to find out, researchers from the Cornell ...

An owl found partially encased in concrete after it got inside a cement mixer in southwestern Utah is expected to fly free again after it was painstakingly cleaned by animal sanctuary workers who ...

A cacophony of barking alerts me to the cardboard box delivered to my front door. Packed inside is a single sheet of white corrugated plastic folded into what looks like a large suitcase. My canine ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

For over 30 years, thousands of scavenger hunters have been in hot pursuit of a bronze statuette of an owl. The parties who carefully placed the artifact and issued clues as to its location have ...

If you're shopping for a desktop PC for 3D rendering, you better prepare your wallet. In order to snag a PC with enough firepower to handle this demanding task, you're going to be shopping among the ...
