RNA’s single-stranded nature makes it amenable to forming complicated structures through folding. Using RNA nanotechnology, a single-stranded architecture (named RNA origami) was developed that ...

Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials. (Nanowerk News) Stretchable electronics are ...

Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...
