Origami is no longer just an art form — it has become a powerful tool in modern engineering. By studying how flat surfaces ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany, Nanjing University of China, ...

Origami isn’t just child’s play. The math and science behind paper folding can revolutionize how we make all kinds of technologies. Roboticist Shuguang Li used origami to develop soft, strong, and ...

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are technologies that allow users to immerse themselves in digital worlds or enhance their surroundings with computer-generated filters or images, ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new robotic platform based on origami robots and reconfigurable modular robots. The concept combines the advantages of both robot types into a mobile, ...

It is an obvious extension of this research to convert static DNA structures into machines. DNA is not the natural choice of material to build active structures with because it lacks the structural ...

Paper folding is a form of art that most people today associate with Japan. Indeed, Japanese origami is arguably the most well-known type of paper folding today. What is perhaps less well-known is ...

We address the problem of de novo design and synthesis of nucleic acid nanostructures, a challenge that has been considered in the area of DNA nanotechnology since the 1980s and more recently in the ...
