A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...

In the 1960s, most computers took up an entire room. Faster computers now find themselves on the wrists of people all over the world. As devices get smaller, humanity seems to be on track to create ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have just published a paper on creating modular tubular origami machines which they call “Kinegami”, a portmanteau of “kinematic” and “origami”. The idea ...

Scientists have harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold -- freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments and ...

Cornell University researchers have created microscale origami machines that fold themselves using chemical reactions, Phys.org reports. This development could result in the production of a new fleet ...

University of Washington scientists have built a battery-free flying robot that stabilizes its descent by changing shape in mid-air—a design that was inspired by origami, according to a recent paper ...

Something that always impresses me in videogame tech is our ability to make it feel like you're doing something you're not. It's wild how quickly we get used to pushing buttons to control our virtual ...
