New Polymer Shapeshifts Into Complex Origami Shapes Researchers at China’s Zhejiang University have created an experimental thermal polymer plastic that, when exposed to heat, can fold itself ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This artist creates intricate origami designs that change shapes. Jasen Zhang uses modular-origami techniques to make them. Each shape is made of ...

6 DNA origami is a nanoscale DNA folding technique whereby long, single-stranded pieces DNA self-assemble into two- and three-dimensional shapes. To coax the DNA into a specific shape, shorter ...

DNA is a super flexible and modular structure, meaning that with the right sequences, scientists can use it to create a vast array of structures of different shapes and sizes. The term DNA origami was ...

Observatory and shield must therefore be folded up on themselves, origami style, for the ride to orbit. Only when they get into space can they be unpacked into an operational configuration.

This mechanical origami is called kamikara. Haruki Nakamura is the artist behind these toys. The secret is rubber bands. Ghostkubes are shape-shifting sculptures. They can be manipulated to expand ...

“How can we go in and look at this art form which is producing these fantastically complex shapes from very simple ... Using various origami designs, their lab has created designs for a foldable ...
