Traditional deployable systems—relying on pneumatic pumps, electric motors, magnets, or manual assembly—often require bulky power systems or multiple steps. We began exploring whether a simpler, ...

(Nanowerk News) Soft grippers have the advantages in human-machine interactions while most of them suffer from low response time. Bistable structures could improve this characteristic, but current ...

Bistable composite laminates are an emerging class of engineered structures that can exist in two distinct stable configurations without continuous energy input. This inherent multistability is ...
