A collaborative research team called MoonMars is developing a simple, versatile way of building off-world habitats using origami. Made of high-performance textiles, the origami bases could be ...

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 ...

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 ...

Though the past 15 years have seen an exciting run of creative scientific advances in fabricating three-dimensional (3-D) structures by self-folding of 2-D sheets, the complexity of structures ...

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