3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...

The action that's been reserved for thin, flexible materials is about to get a boost. Researchers studying the ancient art of origami have figured out some new ways to make rigid, thick structures ...

Researchers have developed a technique to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures directly on a chip—a process they call photonic origami. The method could enable tiny, yet complex ...

BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...

"What we have here is the proof of concept of an integrated system for manufacturing complex origami. It has tremendous potential applications," said Glaucio H. Paulino, a professor at the School of ...

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D printing to ...

DNA origami has proven useful for organizing diverse nanoscale components into patterns with 6 nm resolution. However for many applications, such as nanoelectronics, large-scale organization of ...

Some 20 years or so, various individuals recognised that the problem of folding a square sheet of paper into an arbitrary 3D shape had many similarities to problems in computational geometry. These ...

The art of origami goes back centuries — enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...
