Kirigami is the next level of origami. While origami is all about folding paper, kirigami takes it a step further by cutting ...

During a demonstration at WPI's robotics lab, Conrad, who along with postdoctoral student Shou-Shan Chiang has been one of the key figures behind the project, said that the origami structure gives ...

She uses the technique of RNA origami, which is based on the idea that genetic information—the blueprint for the cell structure, for example—is translated using self-folding RNA alone. First, a DNA ...

Rothemund’s DNA origami consisted of two main components: a long, single-stranded piece of bacteriophage DNA, which serves as the scaffold material, and a bunch of shorter strands of oligonucleotides, ...
