McGill engineers created graphene oxide origami materials that move, sense motion, and reshape themselves for soft robots.

McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape ...

Soft actuation remains the key bottleneck in creating soft robots with flexible deformation and agile locomotion similar to nature creatures. Despite extensive efforts, it remains performance ...

We usually assume that tissue folding (the process that creates organs, embryos, and the deep ridges of the human brain) requires complex internal control. So then how does one of the world’s simplest ...

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of paper folding, we now get paper that can drink sunlight by folding and unfolding. Engineers from a Milan-based greentech startup has decided to consider ...
