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

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

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

An origami-based magnetic muscle drives two robots. One precisely introduces medicine into the human body, the other is a ...

(a) Schematic of the multi-material one-step printing process, demonstrating the sequential switching of three different resin tanks during printing to achieve composite structures in a single step.

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...

Researchers have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a millimeter thick. The researchers have also ...

A new study has found a way to leverage this technology to create 3D-printed metal structures 20 times stronger than those ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process ...
