Mechanics is a fascinating field! Can you figure out how these mechanisms work?

Tensegrity Structures: How can we get strings to carry compressive loads?

Check out our video on tensegrity structures below:

Mechanics of Soft Materials: Fun with balloons!

Check out our two-balloon experiment to see the non-linear mechanics of rubber in action:

The Toothpick Challenge: Can you figure out the mechanics behind this stability challenge?
