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 ...

Move over, Curiosity: there could soon be a new rover lifting off to explore the galaxy. An innovative “tensegrity rover” could solve some of the big problems about space exploration, making the rover ...

If you’re looking to add a pop of glowing whimsy to your workspace, check out this vibrant jiggly desk toy by [thzinc], who couldn’t resist the allure of Adafruit’s NOODS LED strands. [thzinc]’s ...

Tensegrity structures, characterised by the interplay of discontinuous compression elements and continuous tension elements, have emerged as a promising design paradigm in robotics. These ...

Teague’s 20/20 headphones are one of weirdest and most intriguing industrial designs I’ve ever seen. Instead of using the usual adjusting mechanisms to adapt to different heads’ shapes and sizes, they ...

In context: Companies like Boston Dynamics have brought us two and four-legged robots. NASA has even been working on a "tensegrity" design called the "Super Ball Bot" that has no legs but moves by ...
