Insects that tuck away their wings using origami creases have inspired foldable structures for drones and solar panels that ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The way that an earwig insect folds its wings could be applied to how engineers preprogram technology to perform certain tasks, according to research published on March 23 in ...

“Sometimes you learn from the smallest things. Sometimes you realize that the mere change of the angle of the neck changes the meaning of the entire scene. And sometimes you learn that things like ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient ...

In 1953, a pair of scientists named James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick — with help from the data supplied by the research of another scientist, Rosalind Franklin, — successfully modeled the ...

Origami is a physical art form – figures are created out of folded and creased paper. But in response to COVID-19, Bruin Origami For All has turned to a digital platform to support their physical art.

Who is the beetle that can fold its delicate wings into an origami shape, keeping them safely tucked away as it scampers through dirt and debris? Scientists have long been fascinated by the intricate ...
