Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...

Although crucial for mathematical problem solving and long-term STEM achievement, visuospatial skills remain a significant challenge for many students in the United States. Therefore, it is critical ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b), to achieve helical bending (c), and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have developed a chip-based method to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures – a process called photonic origami. The technique could produce ...

The art of origami goes back centuries — enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...

These structures could help improve how scientists design and deploy antennas, optical devices for satellites. (Representational image)Victor /Royal Society Scientists are exploring a new class of ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WJHL) — Jonesborough leaders approved an Outdoor Use Permit that will allow a statue of the Star Wars character Yoda to remain outside of a downtown business. The Board of Mayor ...

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, ...
