High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

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

University of Washington scientists have built a battery-free flying robot that stabilizes its descent by changing shape in mid-air—a design that was inspired by origami, according to a recent paper ...

Origami is a traditional Japanese art form where people create intricate designs by folding paper, but the technique can also keep people alive. Science and engineering professor Richard James and ...

The arm uses origami for its construction. Lightweight plastic is folded in construction. The arm is designed to assist people with disabilities. WORCESTER — When someone envisions a robotic arm, they ...

Small robotic devices have been developed by researchers at the University of Washington that can modify the way they fly through the air by folding themselves into a more compact form while they are ...
