Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials. (Nanowerk News) Stretchable electronics are ...

Origami is a traditional Japanese art form where people create intricate designs by folding paper, but the technique can also keep people alive. Science and engineering professor Richard James and ...

Three DNA origami templates were designed so that quantum dots would arrange themselves (a) in the corners, (b) diagonally (three dots), and (c) in a line (four dots). NIST researchers found that ...

Researchers at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University, have applied the principle of interlacing to an origami-inspired structure and developed a "Foldable-and-Rollable ...

(Nanowerk News) A new technique in building DNA structures at a microscopic level has the potential to advance drug delivery and disease diagnosis, a study suggests. A team of scientists, from the ...

Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

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 ...

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 ...
