In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of ...

Drawing inspiration from the folding art of origami, Princeton University engineers created a structure that blurs the lines ...

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

To do that, the team 3D printed a ceramic structure based on the Miura-ori origami pattern -- which is a way to fold something flat, like paper, so it takes up less space but stays flat overall ...

Abstract: In this paper, we report a novel three-state Radio Frequency Microelectromechanical Systems (RF MEMS) switch, which is based on origami structure for large tunable capability. Combined with ...

Graduate and advanced undergraduate students in applied sciences and engineering interested in computational origami, structural optimization, and novel fabrication methods; Academics in applied ...
