Rising rates of heart rhythm problems are colliding with an aging population and crowded hospitals. At the same time, many ...

Could a flat piece of fabric hold a 3D shape, the way paper does in origami? Aiming to find out, researchers from the Cornell ...

Engineers 3D-print magnet-filled films that act like “magnetic muscles,” letting soft robots curl, twist, and shrink under a ...

A new heart monitoring system combining 3D printing and artificial intelligence could transform the way doctors measure and ...

Abstract: Origami is known as a traditional art of paper folding. It has attracted extensive attention due to its self-folding mechanism, shape-morphing capability, and deployable structures. This ...

Abstract: While vacuum-based bending actuation offers benefits such as safety and compactness in soft robotics, it is often overlooked due to its limited actuation pressure, which restricts both ...

A new heart monitoring system combining 3D printing and artificial intelligence could transform the way doctors measure and diagnose patients' heart health. Developed at SFU's School of Mechatronic ...

Touch is the sense that brings us into direct contact with reality, revealing shape, texture, and resistance. Designing soft sensors to mimic biological fingertips facilitates natural haptic ...
