Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This artist creates intricate origami designs that change shapes. Jasen Zhang uses modular-origami techniques to make ...

ASU researchers have expanded on the capabilities of DNA origami to construct arbitrary two- and three-dimensional shapes, mimicking those often found in nature. The research is featured in the April ...

Jackson isn't a scientist, but he is aware of the many places that folds appear in nature, from DNA and vital proteins, to geometric folding that changes the space we live in. Jackson is one of a ...

Science writer Maya Wei-Haas shares insights from the February 2023 issue of National Geographic and takes us into the beautiful and bewildering world of emerging technologies inspired by origami.

The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended the centuries-old practice to ...

In the realm of microrobotics, small and malleable machines are, in the meme-y words of Mugatu, so hot right now. Scientists appear to be doing everything they can to crack the code behind what it ...

Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...
