Eighteen years later Demaine, now a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, has completed his quest to create a universal algorithm for folding origami shapes with the ...

The earwig insect has more folds in its wings than any other organism in the animal kingdom but uses minimal energy to move ... and Purdue University have likened the wing to self-folding origami that ...

Helping make surgical tools so small that incisions will heal on their own -- without sutures BYU has licensed some of their origami-inspired technology to Intuitive Surgical, makers of the da Vinci ...

Robot surgeons could one day have an easy way to mend internal injuries with minimal impact. MIT researchers have developed an “origami-inspired,” biodegradable medical patch that can be ...

A self-described papercraft engineer, Shlian designs stunning 3-D paper sculptures that fall somewhere between origami, pop-up books, and Minimal Art — many of them happy accidents. Sometimes ...

My research project aims to construct large capsids, protective protein shells that house the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of viruses, with high yield using a minimal number of building ...

In this work, the two length scales are bridged using DNA origami 5: a mesoscopic biological template large enough to be patterned on lithographically generated features but with a chemical ...
