NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- A ninth grader from New York City won the most prestigious middle school STEM competition in the nation this week, and he did it by folding paper. As awards go, this one was a ...

Affordable, versatile, incredibly strong and locally available, concrete is the world’s most used manmade material. But it also has a huge carbon footprint, accounting for around 8% of global ...

Abstract: The origami principle of folding planar sheets into functional three-dimensional devices promises a future with increased compactness and reconfigurability of biomedical robots. To inspire ...

Abstract: Multifingered robot hands have the ability to manipulate and grasp various objects, like a human hand. In previous studies, we have looked at paper folding operations (Origami) as an example ...
