Abstract: Tensegrity robots,characterized by a synergistic assembly of rigid rods and elastic cables, form robust structures that are resistant to impacts. However, this design introduces complexities ...

Tensegrity (or tensional integrity, or floating compression) is really counterintuitive. These bizarre structures can be explained quite nicely with a 2D version (you know I love to explain things ...

How can a structure appear to float while holding weight? Explore the revolutionary concept of Tensegrity, where continuous tension balances discontinuous compression to achieve surprising stability.

Biotech company 10x Genomics filed two lawsuits against rival Illumina in Delaware federal court on Tuesday, accusing Illumina of infringing patents related to 10x's genetic analysis technology.

An international research team has developed a tracker-based rooftop PV system that can be installed on both new and existing stadiums. The proposed design reportedly allows for easier deployment and ...

Despite the fact that they bang their heads against trees on a daily basis, woodpeckers don't suffer brain injuries. Inspired by the tough-headed birds, scientists have developed a fixed-wing drone ...

A modular metamaterial mimics DNA geometry to combine twist compression, tunable stiffness, fast recovery, and reusable shock absorption for robotics and impact systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Across ...

When I was in junior high, I ran track and asked my coach how I could get faster. His answer: “Just run faster.” I was hoping for drills or guidance, but his response left me confused. Leadership can ...

Researchers at the University of Salerno and the University of Naples Federico II in Italy have developed a new PV system design for small-to-medium-sized sports stadiums. The system is based on the ...
