In addition to carrying a large load, this system—known as the Modular and Uniformly Thick Origami-Inspired Structure system—can adapt its shapes to become bridges, walls, floors, columns and ...

Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...

At some point, most of us have learned a little of the ancient art of origami. It’s a fascinating ... The fifty-pound Kevlar and aluminum structure comes from Brigham Young University’s ...

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, ...

DNA is a super flexible and modular structure, meaning that with the right sequences, scientists can use it to create a vast array of structures of different shapes and sizes. The term DNA origami was ...

Using various origami designs, their lab has created designs ... Magleby says the main challenge has been designing a structure that unfolds to a permanently flat antenna. Regular hinges don ...
