Scientists have created a working nanoscale electomotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a ...

Miles Wu, 14, won a $25,000 award for his research project combining origami and physics. He measured the weight that Miura-ori origami patterns can hold across various benchmarks. Wu said the pattern ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- A ninth grader from New York City won the most prestigious middle school STEM competition in the nation this week, and he did it by folding paper. As awards go, this one was a ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Ankylosaurus. No one’s asked me for decades, but my favorite dinosaur is the ankylosaurus. Going through a dinosaur phase is a rite of passage as a kid. There’s something about the massive lizards ...

FLETCHER - In a back warehouse of the Fletcher Business Park, a set of walls and windows are stacked onto one another, lying flat like a birthday card. Quickly, Compact Cottages' employees push up two ...

It's been just about a year since Origami Angel hit us with the phenomenal Feeling Not Found. Today the hard-rocking yet maniacally catchy emo duo is back with their contribution to Cosmic Debris Vol.

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...
