For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...

A giant impact on the early Earth could have brought the building blocks of RNA to our planet, which new research suggests ...

When people are dropped into the most dangerous of conditions – as when disaster strikes, or during exploration of another ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA origami for silicon surfaces and investigated how different conditions affect ...

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 ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

Discover the magic of paper engineering! In this easy modular origami tutorial, you’ll learn how to fold a stunning ringed cube using simple sheets of paper. No glue, no scissors — just beautiful ...
