Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those ...

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 ...

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” ...

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 ...

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 ...

DNA origami and beyond. A) DNA octahedron that inspired development of DNA origami. B) 2D DNA origami (smiley face serves as an example). C) Hollow 3D DNA origami shapes that are folded from 2D ...

Origami isn’t just child’s play. The math and science behind paper folding can revolutionize how we make all kinds of technologies. Roboticist Shuguang Li used origami to develop soft, strong, and ...
