Origami

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed small robotic devices that can change how they move through the air by "snapping" into a folded position during their descent. When…

Specially created software turns an input 3D model, which can be a scan of an existing object, into a 2D pattern that…

Griffith University researchers have played a key role in using DNA 'origami' templates to control the way viruses are assembled. The global team behind the research, published in Nature…

A Cornell-led collaboration harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold -- freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in…

A PC case is typically just a nice box for you to put all your parts in, with a few standardized mounting brackets, sufficient air ingress and egress for cooling, and maybe a USB port…

Every day I set aside time to transform sheets of paper into colorful origami hearts. My fingers fold the paper into a series of squares and triangles that are reliant on patience and…

There’s a fundamental hurdle when it comes to designing a mouse that’s supposed to be portable: Unlike a laptop, it’s almost impossible to make a mouse both thin and comfortable at the same…

In a recently published study, researchers from SIT, Japan, developed a cost-effective method of making paper sheets…

Synthetic biology strives to achieve robust control of biological processes in order to create designer organisms for a variety of industrial, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications.…
