Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and engineers combed mechanical computing with 3D printing to create “sentient” materials that respond to changes in their surroundings, even in ...

A paper crane that flaps its wings without a single motor inside it sounds like a magic trick. But engineers at Princeton University have built exactly that: a soft robot, constructed entirely through ...

Researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for ...
