An origami-based structure will fold and twist in certain ways based on the structure's material properties and its geometry. When engineers prevent that natural motion, they call it "frustrating" the ...

A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

Once inside, a magnetic field guides and unfolds it at the target site, where it releases medicine in a controlled and steady ...
