ASU researchers have designed a new method for developing load-bearing structures using a unique method: origami. Origami is not only the art of paper-folding, but is also used more widely to describe ...

Origami has inspired the design of structures with unique properties, finding a huge range of potential uses, including soft robots and stretchable electronics. Now researchers from Georgia Institute ...

Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

Aiming to reduce waste, an MIT team has developed a method of also using a tree's load-bearing junctions. Led by Assoc. Prof. Caitlin Mueller, the researchers started by collecting sections of waste ...

As part of the implementation of the plan of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation for the development, approval and updating of codes of rules (SP) for 2022, a new one will be ...

Northrop Grumman has won a $9.5 million U.S. Air Force contract to help enhance the surveillance capabilities of aerial vehicles by embedding antennas in the primary load-bearing structures of ...

From next-generation body armor to new treatments for tuberculosis, marine sponges have plenty to offer the world of science, and now we’re seeing how they might inspire stronger and lighter ...

Despite their significant weight reduction potential, application and implementation in series production remains challenging for sandwich structures. Currently, the lack of suitable joining concepts ...

For the first time, load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules—versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes—University of ...
