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 ...

The researchers employed kirigami techniques to create cuts in a sheet of paper, resulting in a complex surface with numerous ...

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 ...

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 ...

Because DNA's makeup is determined by a simple set of rules (A pairs with T, C pairs with G), applying shape grammars to DNA origami was an easy choice for the research team, who created such ...

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 ...
