Mechanical metamaterials represent an exciting frontier in materials science, where the extraordinary properties of a material arise predominantly from its engineered structure rather than its ...
Traditional deployable systems—relying on pneumatic pumps, electric motors, magnets, or manual assembly—often require bulky power systems or multiple steps. We began exploring whether a simpler, ...
Researchers in the US have developed DropPop, an innovative drop-to-deploy mechanism that can transform from a compact form into a fully deployed structure in seconds. The technology is built from ...
