How can a structure appear to float while holding weight? Explore the revolutionary concept of Tensegrity, where continuous tension balances discontinuous compression to achieve surprising stability.

Despite the fact that they bang their heads against trees on a daily basis, woodpeckers don't suffer brain injuries. Inspired by the tough-headed birds, scientists have developed a fixed-wing drone ...

A mathematical model is established using the space coordinates of nodes and vector matrix of components to study the construction method and lightweight nature of single-layer tensegrity structures ...

Abstract: Many current dynamic hand orthoses use single degree of freedom joints, such as hinge joints. Consequently, these orthoses can only partially replicate the complex, multi-axis range of ...
