Researchers have developed a technique whereby they can spontaneously encapsulate microscopic droplets of water and oil emulsion in a tiny sphere made of salt crystals - sort of like a minute, ...

Mechanical engineers have devised a technique of ‘crystal capillary origami’ where salt crystals spontaneously encapsulate liquid droplets. The process offers a new method of nanostructure ...

Chuck Hoberman is looking to make "transformative designs" that borrow from the art of paper folding.

Chuck Hoberman's eponymous sphere is one of the best-loved toys of the last quarter century. But it's only one example of his incredible work in transformable design. From adaptive nanotech to ...
