Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

Tree forks are naturally engineered structural connections that work as cantilevers in trees, which means that they have the potential to transfer force very efficiently thanks to their internal fiber ...

A recent article published in Sustainability explored the impact of novel cross-sectional configurations on low-cost bamboo composite (LCBC) structural members using both experimental and numerical ...
