McGill University engineers have developed ultra-thin materials that can move, fold, and reshape themselves, ...

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. By ...

Movable structures can be manufactured from flexible, tear-resistant graphene oxide films, which simultaneously provide ...
