Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

Getting to the root of the problem has never looked quite like this, medically speaking. Thanks to the latest innovation from the minds at MIT, there is now a tiny origami robot capable of performing ...

This little guy is about to impress you. It’s able to fold itself, walk, swim, carry things and even degrade into nothingness. The little origami robot is cool. Made from a laser-cut, 1.7 cm-square ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Imagine swallowing a tablet knowing it contains a robot that, when it enters your stomach, unfolds like origami and crawls its way around to heal where the ailment is. This could be the future of ...

A team of researchers from MIT, the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and the University of Sheffield have demonstrated that their origami robot is able to unfold from a swallowed capsule, transverse a ...

Origami can turn a flat sheet of paper into complex 3-D shapes like birds and flowers and frogs. Scientists at Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab are taking the art of paper folding to a new ...

It’s alive! Using some paper, a circuit board and the plastic used in Shrinky Dinks, a team of researchers has designed an origami-inspired crawling robot that folds itself into working order in about ...

This self-folding robot goes from flat to fast (sort of) in just four minutes. Using flat materials and origami-inspired patterns, researchers have designed a real-life transformer that can assemble ...

Researchers at the Delft University of Technology have developed the smallest ever flow-driven motor from DNA that utilises electrical or salt gradients to generate mechanical energy. For the ...
