The sensor uses a DNA origami scaffold, which consists of two arms connected by a molecular “hinge.” Each arm is tagged with a fluorescent dye, and the distance between the tags is recorded by means ...

If a soft-bodied robot uses rigid actuators to move its body, then it isn't really soft now, is it? An experimental new caterpillar-inspired bot gets around that conundrum by using soft, collapsible ...

Housing is a diverse architectural typology whose configuration is determined not only by those who design it but also by the use of those who live in it. Therefore, homes are fundamentally adaptable ...

Unlike traditional building methodologies, modular design offers a degree of flexibility, efficiency, and scalability that is rarely paralleled. The true measure of a modular residence's worth lies in ...

In 1936, the British mathematician Alan Turing came up with an idea for a universal computer. It was a simple device: an infinite strip of tape covered in zeros and ones, together with a machine that ...
