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

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

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