Researchers at MIT have developed a new way to design 3D structures that deploy from a flat form with a single pull of a string. The method could help engineers rapidly assemble complex structures in ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string.

Inspired by kirigami, a type of Japanese paper art, researchers have created a new material that transforms from a grid into any 3D structure you'd like. Reading time 2 minutes There’s a very thin ...
