For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another ...

While most 14-year-olds are busy with schoolwork and hobbies, New York City student Miles Wu has been experimenting with something far more ambitious: using origami engineering to build stronger, ...

The US DoE has released a new organizational chart that has removed groups focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and reducing carbon emissions. A new hierarchical chart posted on the DoE ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. One area we often overlook when making our homes beautiful is the wall plates. These are high-traffic areas that are often more practical than ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials. (Nanowerk News) Stretchable electronics are ...

Kiri-origami structures combine the benefits of both origami and kirigami, incorporating their advantages while canceling their disadvantages, enabling the development of high-performance, stretchable ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...
