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

The tensegrity technology allows minimum mass of both the habitat and the robotic system. This proposal solves three unsolved space travel problems: Their innovative tensegrity-based evolvable habitat ...

This investigation by Kuan-Ting Lai, developed as part of his thesis on Reconfigurable Systems of Tensegrity at the University of Stuttgart, is an exploration of the capabilities of structural ...

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 ...

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

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

Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow and maintain structural stability in some of Earth's harshest ...

A team of researchers has developed a way to use 3-D printers to create objects capable of expanding dramatically that could someday be used in applications ranging from space missions to biomedical ...

The design team at Kontax Engineering Ltd have returned to Kickstarter this month to launch their new very unique Tensegrity iPhone stand. The tension design makes the stand look as though it is ...

"Tensegrity structures are extremely lightweight while also being very strong," said Glaucio Paulino, a professor in Georgia Tech's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. "That's the reason ...
