Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...
A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them ...
The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who ...
Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures. The technology uses magnetic films to generate controlled movement for ...
A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.
NC State researchers create 3D-printed magnetic origami robots for precise, targeted drug delivery inside the body.
In response to a short pulse of near-infrared light, the robot released the pebble. Further, the light produced heat triggered a shape change that forced the robot to unfold. The robot then returned ...
