Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...

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

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 ...

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

What do you see when you close your eyes and imagine robots? Probably tough, metallic machines that can withstand all sorts of extreme conditions. While that's usually the case with most DARPA-funded ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures. The technology uses magnetic films to generate controlled movement for ...

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

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

Mechanical metamaterials are structures carefully designed to give rise to unique or unusual physical properties. Now a team has taken inspiration from origami to create a modular metamaterial system.
