In another hard-won triumph for contemporary architecture in Paris, a new building casts stone into bright and airy modernism. Paris’s urban center is a large set piece that’s preened and preserved to ...
A plastic bladder folded into an origami shape can stand up to cryogenic temperatures. (WSU Photo) Build a better fuel tank, and the space industry will beat a path to your door. At least that’s what ...
From new ways of to to the , we've been covering a number of research and design breakthroughs that were inspired by origami here at SmartPlanet. Yes, the traditional Japanese art of folding paper ...
Origami can be used to create mechanical, binary switches, and researchers report the fabrication of such a paper device, using the Kresling pattern, that can act as a mechanical switch. By putting ...
In 2008, Paul Rothemund gave a TED talk on a field he called DNA origami, or the creation of microscopic shapes and forms from DNA. As it turns out, Rothemund said, DNA is an ideal nanoscale building ...
In contrast to lithographic techniques, the LMU team uses a method called DNA origami to design and synthesize building blocks, which then self-assemble into a specific lattice structure. “It’s long ...
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 ...
WASHINGTON, August 25, 2020 -- The ancient Japanese art of paper folding, known as origami, can be used to create mechanical, binary switches. In Applied Physics Letters, by AIP Publishing, ...
