Learn about its origami-inspired outer shell that accumulates snow for enhanced insulation, dramatically boosting the ...

A cacophony of barking alerts me to the cardboard box delivered to my front door. Packed inside is a single sheet of white corrugated plastic folded into what looks like a large suitcase. My canine ...

A research project exploring jet propulsion in bionic underwater robots, inspired by the razor clam (Solen strictus). Two different propulsion mechanisms were designed, simulated, and tested to study ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

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, ...

If one in three Americans could benefit from regenerative medicine why are only one million Americans treated with it each year? To put it simply, cell manipulation and delivery is brutal. Cells are ...

If you've ever been to an Overland Expo or consulted the internet in search of the best overland setup for your truck or SUV, you probably created more questions than answers, more solutions than your ...

In 1936, the British mathematician Alan Turing came up with an idea for a universal computer. It was a simple device: an infinite strip of tape covered in zeros and ones, together with a machine that ...

Abstract: Building envelopes manage several crucial functions, including structural, thermal, hygric and aesthetic functions. Classic facade concepts usually work with static elements like glass, ...

It’s an ancient form of art, but now origami is providing modern solutions in the fields of space, engineering, mathematics and medicine. For one Canadian aerospace engineer, origami and its ability ...
