Researchers at MIT have developed a new way to design 3D structures that deploy from a flat form with a single pull of a string. The method could help engineers rapidly assemble complex structures in ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string.

Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools. MIT ...

Complete this interactive activity to find out more about 3D shapes and then put your knowledge to the test. Cubes have 6 flat faces which are all the same size. Everyday things that have the shape of ...
