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 ...

ASU researchers have expanded on the capabilities of DNA origami to construct arbitrary two- and three-dimensional shapes, mimicking those often found in nature. The research is featured in the April ...

In 1953, a pair of scientists named James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick — with help from the data supplied by the research of another scientist, Rosalind Franklin, — successfully modeled the ...

Through DNA origami, oligonucleotides form complex nanostructures, driving advancements in nanotechnology and offering solutions for nanomedicine challenges.

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, ...

Nick Statt was a staff reporter for CNET News covering Microsoft, gaming, and technology you sometimes wear. He previously wrote for ReadWrite, was a news associate at the social-news app Flipboard, ...

DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered ...

If you are an experimental foodie, this might be just the thing you’re looking for. Researchers with the MIT Tangible Media Group have announced the successful creation of edible, shape-shifting ...

Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its shape and properties in response to changing circumstances. The new method ...
