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

In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

Origami-inspired mechanical metamaterials harness folding principles to achieve novel combinations of stiffness, deployability and shape morphing. By integrating rigid panels, elastic hinges and ...

Origami was first known as ‘orikata’ or ‘folded shapes’. In 1880, the name changed to origami from Japanese words oru - to fold and kami- paper. It is widely known that origami is a Japanese art form ...
