Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material ...

The action that's been reserved for thin, flexible materials is about to get a boost. Researchers studying the ancient art of origami have figured out some new ways to make rigid, thick structures ...

DNA origami has proven useful for organizing diverse nanoscale components into patterns with 6 nm resolution. However for many applications, such as nanoelectronics, large-scale organization of ...

A team of researchers has generated 3-D images from 129 individual molecules of flexible DNA origami particles. Their work provides the first experimental verification of the theoretical model of DNA ...

Over the past decade, researchers have been working to create nanoscale materials and devices using DNA as construction materials through a process called “DNA origami.” A single long “scaffold” ...

Inspired by the paper folding art of origami, a University of Washington team — including Jinkyu Yang, an associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics — created a paper model of a metamaterial ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...

Richard Margolin’s office isn’t the tidiest. The floor is cluttered with boxes of products and prototypes of the educational robots his company, Robokind, produces. A bookshelf is crammed with texts ...
