An origami crane folds and unfolds — Researchers combined their expertise in materials science and and origami to create a durable, programmable robot that moves without a motor. (The video’s speed is increased 40 times from the original.) Video by the researchers

This soft robot has no problem moving with no motor and no gears

A 3D printer creates a small translucent plastic cylinder. Two blurred faces in the background observe — Unlike similar materials that require complex processing, the plastic can be created with a 3D printer. Photos by Sameer A. Khan/Fotobuddy

Stretchable, flexible, recyclable. This plastic is fantastic
