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

What do you see when you close your eyes and imagine robots? Probably tough, metallic machines that can withstand all sorts of extreme conditions. While that's usually the case with most DARPA-funded ...

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

NC State researchers create 3D-printed magnetic origami robots for precise, targeted drug delivery inside the body.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures.

Just as origami can transform a piece of paper into a three-dimensional work of art, scientists have now used the techniques to transform thin, flimsy materials like polyester into incredibly strong ...

Researchers have used origami to create flexible robotic muscles strong enough to lift up to 1,000 times their own weight. Subtle as well as strong, they could be used to deliver medicine, create ...

New research details how origami structures and bio-inspired design can be used to create a crawling robot. New research from a team of University of Illinois Mechanical Science and engineering ...

These could be the stuff of nightmares — if they weren’t so damn cute. Scientists at the University of Washington have developed adorable little electronic “microfliers,” the size of a postage stamp, ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio - A soft, origami-inspired robot created by a Case Western Reserve University researcher may one day be used on an assembly line, in surgery or even outer space. The patent-pending ...
