In nature, helical structures enable muscles to contract and plants to change shape. Now, Harvard researchers have developed a groundbreaking 3D printing method that precisely replicates these complex helical patterns. Using rotational multimaterial printing, they've fabricated artificial muscles and tunable structural lattices for use in soft robotics and more. Learn how this innovative technique could transform materials science, robotics, and bio-inspired engineering.
