Liao and the team used a green 532-nanometer (nm)-wavelength laser to inscribe 3D patterns into tiny slabs of the doped glass. The intricate patterns, randomly chosen dots, symbols, QR codes ...

This project generates a Kresling origami pattern that can be printed and folded into a triangulated cylindrical structure. The script uses Python, NumPy, and Matplotlib to create a tiled net of ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – ...

In addition to considering folding techniques at the level of cognitive science, the reverse process of folding is an often overlooked field used in architecture design, the process of unfolding 3D ...
