Mechanical actions underlie much of what makes modern day society function, whether it’s electric motors, combustion engines, switches, levers, or the springs inside a toy blaster gun that propel foam ...

Compliant mechanisms utilise the intrinsic elasticity of materials to achieve precise motion through deformation rather than traditional rigid-body joints. This design paradigm is highly advantageous ...

Thrust vectoring is one way to control aerial vehicles. It’s become more popular as technology advances, finding applications on fifth-generation fighter aircraft, as well as long being used in space ...

Why this deformable antenna has advantages compared to a foldable origami antenna. How the team designed and fabricated this iris-patch antenna design using 3D printing. The performance they modeled ...

Reconfigurable antennas -- those that can tune properties like frequency or radiation beams in real time, from afar -- are integral to future communication network systems, like 6G. But many current ...
