(Nanowerk News) A new technique in building DNA structures at a microscopic level has the potential to advance drug delivery and disease diagnosis, a study suggests. A team of scientists, from the ...

Origami is a traditional Japanese art form where people create intricate designs by folding paper, but the technique can also keep people alive. Science and engineering professor Richard James and ...

Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its shape and properties in response to changing circumstances. The new method ...

Natural DNA is often double-stranded. Yet, there exists another, lesser-known class of interactions between DNA. These so-called normal or reverse Hoogsteen interactions allow a third strand to join ...

Researchers have spent the last decade working to make DNA origami bigger and cheaper. Now, four studies published today (December 6) in Nature represent a substantial step forward. Three research ...

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 ...
