3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...

Origami principles can unlock the potential of the smallest robots, enhancing speed, agility and control in machines no more than a centimeter in size. University of Michigan researchers have ...

In contrast to lithographic techniques, the LMU team uses a method called DNA origami to design and synthesize building blocks, which then self-assemble into a specific lattice structure. “It’s long ...

Using the principles of origami can unlock the power of tiny robots, enhance speed, and control in machinery. "We've come up with a new way to design, fabricate and actuate microbots," said Evgueni ...
