A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created paper-thin “magnetic muscles” that can power origami structures.

Using paper coated with silicon resin and iron particles, researchers created an untethered soft robot that can move without any electronics. This magnetically controlled device can detect heavy metal ...
