Building electric circuits has been a science-class staple for decades. Using copper wire, a 9-volt battery and a light bulb, students learn about the flow of electricity. That classic lesson is ...

Alfred University engineering students studying electrical circuitry are learning the ups and downs of radio frequencies through the use of miniature robots acquired recently by the Inamori School of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, also shows up in modern ...

This kid is more than meets the eye. Teams of techies-in-training built robots that they showed off in a borough-wide robotics contest at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central branch on Dec. 16, and ...

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...

Any robot that moves needs actuators—motors that move parts of the robot around. While robot actuators have been around since the dawn of machines, they have some issues. For one, it is very difficult ...
