These could be the stuff of nightmares — if they weren’t so damn cute. Scientists at the University of Washington have developed adorable little electronic “microfliers,” the size of a postage stamp, ...

University of Washington scientists have built a battery-free flying robot that stabilizes its descent by changing shape in mid-air—a design that was inspired by origami, according to a recent paper ...

Small robotic devices have been developed by researchers at the University of Washington that can modify the way they fly through the air by folding themselves into a more compact form while they are ...

Micro-drones may be versatile in the air, but carry one in your pocket or bag and you run the risk of damaging its propellers. While carry cases are available for a number of models, some are catering ...

A compact, foldable drone inspired by origami can unfold itself automatically and take flight within a fraction of a second. Hordes of these quadcopters, which are about the size of an outstretched ...

Among the various approaches for flexible electronics developed by researchers, one way is to directly fabricate electronic devices on flexible substrate through low-temperature processes, such as ...
