INDIANAPOLIS, March 28, 2023 — The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended ...

A tiny, self-folding dodecahedron may do more than impress an origami master. Inspired by self-assembling viruses and proteins, such dust-size 3D shapes could someday deliver medical drugs inside the ...

Researchers at Harvard have developed a new technique that uses origami to create foldable 3D shapes, an advance that could be the key to designing pop-up furniture, medical devices and even buildings ...

When we say that Erik Demaine has spent the best part of the past two decades folding paper into funny shapes, it’s a bit more impressive than it sounds. In fact, as an 18-year-old Ph.D. student (yes, ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has applied relatively simple tissue modeling and cell patterning techniques to generate highly precise 3D shapes, including ...
