Tensegrity structures are an impressive demonstration of how to achieve mechanical stability through tensile forces. Since the topic is currently trending it was probably only a matter of time before ...

Prepare for brain-exploding dark magic of the highest order, everyone, because there’s a new LEGO fad going around inspiring people to build structures that look like they belong in another dimension.

If you think of levitating objects you probably think about magnets but this is not what [Aaron Hung] used to build his levitating LED lamp. To be fair, his lamp is not really levitating but merely ...

Princeton University researchers have developed a mathematical framework linking origami folding principles with tensegrity structures, enabling the creation of irregular yet mechanically reliable ...

If you’ve been on the internet in the past few weeks you may have come across a new word together with some scarcely believable images and videos. That word is tensegrity and the media attached to it ...

Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in ...

"Tensegrity structures are extremely lightweight while also being very strong," said Glaucio Paulino, a professor in Georgia Tech's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. "That's the reason ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has developed a way to use 3-D printers to create objects capable of expanding dramatically that could someday be used in applications ranging from space missions to biomedical ...
