Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in ...

A hidden mathematical connection between origami and structural engineering is opening a new path for designing complex, ...

Princeton University researchers have developed a mathematical framework linking origami folding principles with tensegrity structures, enabling the creation of irregular yet mechanically reliable ...

Engineers describe the creation of a new class of mechanical metamaterials that delocalize deformations to prevent failure. They did so by turning to tensegrity, a century-old design principle in ...
