Tensegrity structures, characterised by the interplay of discontinuous compression elements and continuous tension elements, have emerged as a promising design paradigm in robotics. These ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have devised two mathematical tools considered to be a major contribution to the optimal design of a new generation of deformable bridges, ...

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 ...

Testing the physics behind the incredible tensegrity structure to find out just how much weight it can really hold before it ...

How can a structure appear to float while holding weight? Explore the revolutionary concept of Tensegrity, where continuous ...
