The project is free, available online, and it’s open-source, so anyone can use or modify it.

Synthetic biologists along with structural biologists have explored ways to fold artificial proteins into diverse shapes like origamis. They constructed diamond-shaped protein cages, and managed to ...

Origami, the act of folding flat sheets of material into complex 3D shapes, has transcended its original artistic and ceremonial roots and entered the realm of engineering. Thanks to their low cost ...

Travis Nolan’s origami creations based on skeletal fossils from digs. A Dimetrodon, a Microraptor a Therizinosaurus and Triceratops. Just behind them are fossil vertebrae of a Plesiosaur. Nolan's hand ...

In this study, researchers developed a self-folding origami gripper that abruptly changes conformation when force is applied. By mounting this low-cost and biodegradable structure on top of a ...

(Nanowerk News) Origami may sound more like art than science, but a complex folding pathway that proteins use to determine their shape has been harnessed by molecular biologists, enabling them to ...
