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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

A termite mound does not look engineered. It rises in rough, uneven towers, full of crooked passages and shifting pockets of ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at Princeton’s engineering school have developed a system for designers to mimic irregular natural structures like termite mounds or human bones.

Kontax Engineering based in the United Kingdom has returned to Kickstarter for a fourth time to launch its new Tensegrity table a floating sculpture that uses the power of magnets to create a floating ...
