Most people are familiar with the DNA double-helix. Its twisted ladder shape forms because the long pieces of DNA that make ...

A fold field is a generalization of a discrete fold graph in origami, replacing a graph with sharp folds ... 3D shape is obtained by assembling the locally folded patches. This algorithm computes an ...

However, researchers at Carnegie Mellon have found a way to harness that tendency to warp with heat to make self-folding structures like those seen in the video below. There’s a paper about how ...

Design by Sara Fang. Buy this photo. Origami is the art of paper folding, where people can make cranes, flowers and other objects out of paper. But Evgueni Filipov, associate professor of civil and ...

to create abstract origami sculptures representing complex mathematical algorithms. Chan is an artist and craftsman known for his realistic insects and other complex figures. Joisel, the only ...

and more by folding DNA into origami. They enter the desired shape into an algorithm that determines how to bend a long DNA strand, or scaffold, into two- and three-dimensional shapes held ...

Prior to joining Smith in 1988 to found and chair the computer science department, Joseph O’Rourke was an assistant and then associate professor at Johns Hopkins University. His research is in the ...

This class acquaints the student with the state-of-art concepts and algorithms to design and analyze origami systems (assemblies, structures, tessellations, etc). Students learn how to understand, ...

"Foldable electronics, origami electronics like those old Transformers ... Or a 90-inch, high-def TV you can fold up and bring to a friend's house for the big game? All are starting to seem ...

Well maybe no longer as a new AI couch design is giving you the option of folding it flat and fitting it into a giant ... That really made us excited because, of course, the algorithm is fed on ...
