The moment you finish setting up your first 3D printer, it may feel as though the entire world is at your fingertips. After all, you can craft all sorts of things, from handy tools to beautiful ...

The robots can hover over marine mammals and gather all sorts of information in a way that’s less invasive to the animals than researchers trying to approach them by boat or plane Engineers are ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

If you’re looking to add a printer to your home office or business space, odds are you’re considering one of two printer types, a laser versus an inkjet printer. The former, like the affordable ...

Printers usually fall into two categories, they are either PostScript (PS) or Printer Control Language (PCL) printers. Both PostScript and Printer Control Language are page descriptive languages. This ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...

Abstract: While vacuum-based bending actuation offers benefits such as safety and compactness in soft robotics, it is often overlooked due to its limited actuation pressure, which restricts both ...

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.
