Young designers are using spring steel technology to make familiar objects fold and pop. Spring steel is commonly used in measuring tapes, allowing the metallic ruler to twist, then return to its original shape, while remaining strong.
Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez has used the technology to make a collapsible mop, that can be stored in small spaces.
Ayca Dundar has used it to make an umbrella that has only six main parts, and no spokes. Both are design students who have just graduated from the Royal College of Art.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

The mop is useless and impractical. I personally dont want a dirty broom in one of my closet (means it needs to be dried and clean) or throwing it in front of my face to deploy it. And i bet it is impractical at use because of its flexibility.
I bet he is not the one doing the cleaning at home.

the umbrella has a similar design as those cheap round collapsible/foldable fans. it seems that it could be practical and functional if it's much bigger…

I like the umbrella idea, but I think it would be a lot better if it were a bit bigger, it looks a bit small – other than that I think it's a lovely idea:D

I like the umbrella idea but it's rather on the small side. You'd still get soaked. Needs to be larger
