Researchers have developed a method for optimizing the initial tension of strings in tensegrity structures as well as a second technique to maximize the strength and minimize the weight of the rods ...

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 ...

A group of architecture students from Ball State University, together with professors Gernot Riether and Andrew Wit, have transformed a post-industrial landscape in Muncie, Indiana, into a new ...

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.

A YouTuber built what appears to be a floating table using some basic engineering principles. The table exhibits how tensile strength is applied and has the ability to keep structures upright. James ...

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 ...
