Princeton University researchers have developed a mathematical framework linking origami folding principles with tensegrity structures, enabling the creation of irregular yet mechanically reliable ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...

An example of a complex structure built on a flat surface using DNA origami. This is a polarimeter used for determining the polarization properties of light beams and samples. From Ashwin Gopinath et ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

Inspired by the paper folding art of origami, a University of Washington team created a paper model of a metamaterial that uses 'folding creases' to soften impact forces for potential applications in ...

Visit Explorit Science Center Sunday, April 26, for a special workshop on “The Science of Origami” from 2 to 4 p.m. Members of the Davis Origami Club will be on hand to introduce the basics of the ...

Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different shapes for use in space. These structures are expected to be even more compact and reliable.

The shimmering of butterfly wings in bright colors does not emerge from pigments. Rather, photonic crystals are responsible for the play of colors. Their periodic nanostructure allows light at certain ...
