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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In the realm of microrobotics, small and malleable machines are, in the meme-y words of Mugatu, so hot right now. Scientists ...

Kota Hiratsuka creates origami shapes but his work has an additional element that sets him apart. His paper mosaics change shape and appearance depending on the viewer's angle. With only a ruler and a ...

If you're trying to distribute environmental sensors over a wide area by dropping them from a drone, you definitely don't want them all landing in the same place. In order to keep that from happening, ...

DNA origami and beyond. A) DNA octahedron that inspired development of DNA origami. B) 2D DNA origami (smiley face serves as an example). C) Hollow 3D DNA origami shapes that are folded from 2D ...

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 ...
