Do you know how to make an origami paper crane? Do you know the meaning of the crane in Japanese culture? In this article we will study in depth and teach you step by step everything about the bird ...

Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

Engineers at Princeton University have created bizarre new ‘metabots’ that can transform shape, move, and dance independent of any motor or gears. The ‘metabots’, which Princeton researchers have ...

An origami-inspired ‘metamaterial’ has been engineered to have properties not found in natural materials — enabling it to undergo large, reversible deformations. Read the paper: Modular chiral origami ...

Even without access to a full makerspace, teachers can think creatively and bring ideas from maker education into their classes. After I taught a creative unit in my AP Physics class, a student wrote ...

The Skoda Kamiq is an excellent example of the Skoda design philosophy that has been such an important factor in the revival of the brand, such that it is now not only well established across Europe ...
