Tensegrity structures are an impressive demonstration of how to achieve mechanical stability through tensile forces. Since the topic is currently trending it was probably only a matter of time before ...

Through his extensive research, inventions and structural experiments, Buckminster Fuller created the term tensegrity to describe "self-tensioning structures composed of rigid structures and cables, ...

If you’ve been on the internet in the past few weeks you may have come across a new word together with some scarcely believable images and videos. That word is tensegrity and the media attached to it ...

Prepare for brain-exploding dark magic of the highest order, everyone, because there’s a new LEGO fad going around inspiring people to build structures that look like they belong in another dimension.

This investigation by Kuan-Ting Lai, developed as part of his thesis on Reconfigurable Systems of Tensegrity at the University of Stuttgart, is an exploration of the capabilities of structural ...

Have you ever seen a skeleton held together with wire in a classroom or at a museum? What would happen if you removed the wire? All of the bones would fall into a heap on the floor! In reality, there ...

If you think of levitating objects you probably think about magnets but this is not what [Aaron Hung] used to build his levitating LED lamp. To be fair, his lamp is not really levitating but merely ...

Engineers describe the creation of a new class of mechanical metamaterials that delocalize deformations to prevent failure. They did so by turning to tensegrity, a century-old design principle in ...

Figure 1: Three-dimensional prestressed DNA tensegrity. In all lanes, we detected a faint fast-moving lowermost band that contained objects with a parallel arrangement of the two struts when ...
