Tensegrity structures are an impressive demonstration of how to achieve mechanical stability through tensile forces. Since the topic is currently trending it was probably only a matter of time before ...

Prepare for brain-exploding dark magic of the highest order, everyone, because there’s a new LEGO fad going around inspiring people to build structures that look like they belong in another dimension.

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 ...

Kontax Engineering based in the United Kingdom has returned to Kickstarter for a fourth time to launch its new Tensegrity table a floating sculpture that uses the power of magnets to create a floating ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the main problems involving interplanetary travel, is weight reduction. Due to the expansive distances involved, the spacecraft need to travel light to conserve fuel. Given the need for ...
