ASU researchers have designed a new method for developing load-bearing structures using a unique method: origami. Origami is not only the art of paper-folding, but is also used more widely to describe ...

Tree forks are naturally engineered structural connections that work as cantilevers in trees, which means that they have the potential to transfer force very efficiently thanks to their internal fiber ...

Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

Conformal load-bearing antenna structures (CLAS) represent an innovative integration of communication technology with structural composite materials. By embedding microstrip antennas within composite ...

From next-generation body armor to new treatments for tuberculosis, marine sponges have plenty to offer the world of science, and now we’re seeing how they might inspire stronger and lighter ...

For some reason, a lot of people still love open floor plans, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. That’s fine if you are building a new home or moving into one built in the last 25 years or so, ...

New images have been released of proposals by Groupwork + Amin Taha for a 10-storey block of flats in Finchley Road, north London featuring a load-bearing stone stucture Plans for the 3,000m² scheme, ...
