Compliant mechanisms utilise the intrinsic elasticity of materials to achieve precise motion through deformation rather than traditional rigid-body joints. This design paradigm is highly advantageous ...

Why this deformable antenna has advantages compared to a foldable origami antenna. How the team designed and fabricated this iris-patch antenna design using 3D printing. The performance they modeled ...

Compliant constant‐force mechanisms represent an innovative class of devices engineered to provide a near‐invariable output force over a defined range of motion. By exploiting the elastic deformation ...

Reconfigurable antennas -- those that can tune properties like frequency or radiation beams in real time, from afar -- are integral to future communication network systems, like 6G. But many current ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...
