The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created “magnetic muscles” with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

A team of scientists from North Carolina State University (NC State) has produced an ultra-thin magnetic film using 3D printing that can be applied to origami structures. The resulting actuator can be ...

North Carolina, USA — October 2025. Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures. The technology uses magnetic films to ...

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique that creates paper-thin ‘magnetic muscles’ capable of bringing origami structures to life to deliver medicine inside the body. A crawler robot ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter captures the first detailed look at the Sun’s poles, revealing fast-moving plasma and magnetic flows.

Magnetic soft continuum robots have received interest in diverse fields because of their active steering and remote control capabilities. However, a more challenging task is the development of ...

Caption The BMSRs are manipulated by a 6-DOF robotic arm to generate rotating magnetic fields. They can crawl on inclined surfaces (including upside-down motion) and navigate the GI tract with ...

For digital creators, the age-old dilemma persists: professional-grade drawing displays demand size and weight that make them impractical for desk use. At the same time, portable tablets often cut ...
