Origami, 3D Printing Merge to Make Complex Structures in One Shot
By merging the ancient art of origami with 21st century technology, researchers have created a one-step approach to fabricating complex origami structures whose light weight,
NASA’s New Shape-Shifting Radiator Inspired by Origami
Japan’s ancient art of paper folding has inspired the design of a potentially trailblazing “smart” radiator that a NASA technologist is now developing to remove
Quasi-phase transition spotted in water-filled carbon nanotube
The optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) change when the tiny structures are filled with water. That is the conclusion of scientists in Belgium
‘Molecular origami’ enables scientists recreate RNA process in lab
University of Dundee scientists have used nanotechnology to perform ‘molecular origami’ in order to replicate naturally occurring genetic processes, research that may one day help
Origami-inspired metamaterial changes shape and stiffness on command
“A house that could fit in a backpack or a wall that could become a window with the flick of a switch” are just two
