Novel insight into the “Sareh twist” suggests that this mechanism underlying origami tessellations could become a key element in the design of origami-inspired structures for science and engineering ...

But one of the key hurdles when bringing origami or kirigami to engineering is that these techniques often make things rather ...

Origami has inspired the design of structures with unique properties, finding a huge range of potential uses, including soft robots and stretchable electronics. Now researchers from Georgia Institute ...

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

ASU researchers have designed a new method for developing load-bearing structures using a unique method: origami. Origami is not only the art of paper-folding, but is also used more widely to describe ...

In a new development in nanotechnology, a researcher at the California Institute of Technology has devised a way of weaving DNA strands into any desired two-dimensional shape or figure, which he calls ...

Kiri-origami structures combine the benefits of both origami and kirigami, incorporating their advantages while canceling their disadvantages, enabling the development of high-performance, stretchable ...

If you want to print something a few inches tall, extruded plastic is a good medium. But when you need something at the nanometer scale, DNA is a better bet — but who has the time to design and ...
