Engineers at Harvard have developed a 3D printing technique that produces soft robotic structures capable of twisting and bending in predictable patterns when inflated with air. The method, which ...

Nature is replete with slender filaments that bend and coil—from climbing grape vines, to folded proteins, to elephant trunks that can pick up a peanut but also take down a tree.

Metalworking has always been very much a “mixed method” art. Forging, welding, milling, grinding; anything to remove metal or push it around from one place to another is fair game when you’ve got to ...

Researchers developed a rotational 3D printing method that builds lattices with programmable shape morphing, an advance that could quickly advance 4D printing.
