When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another ...

Soft actuation remains the key bottleneck in creating soft robots with flexible deformation and agile locomotion similar to nature creatures. Despite extensive efforts, it remains performance ...

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

A crawler robot made with the miura-ori origami pattern. The dark sections are affixed with thin "magnetic muscles" made by co-extruding rubber polymer and ferromagnetic particles, which move the ...

空気を注入して展開してから所定の場所に固定できるアーチやシェルターなどの構造体が、折り紙から着想した方法によって作製されたことを報告する論文が、今週、Nature に掲載される。今回の研究で、大型の折り紙構造体を工学に用いる道が開かれる可能 ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...

Stretchable electronics have broad applications, including wearable sensors and curved displays. However, the electronic performance of stretchable materials is poor in comparison to non-stretchable ...

Over the past decade, researchers have been working to create nanoscale materials and devices using DNA as construction materials through a process called “DNA origami.” A single long “scaffold” ...

Researchers at the University of Houston have created flexible, durable ceramic materials using origami-inspired designs and polymer coatings. Bendable ceramic origami material created in the UH lab ...
