An MIT-led origami construction method connects folded metal modules into curved shells. Prototypes and a library sculpture show how the approach can scale.

MIT researchers have developed a new type of origami-based construction method that could be used to build complex structures ...

Researchers have merged the ancient art of origami with 21st century technology to create a one-step approach to fabricating complex structures whose light weight, expandability, and strength could ...

Newswise — By merging the ancient art of origami with 21 st century technology, researchers have created a one-step approach to fabricating complex origami structures whose light weight, expandability ...

The construction of complex man-made objects--a car, for example, or even a pizza--almost invariably entails what are known as "top-down" processes, in which the structure and order of the thing being ...

Scientists have developed software that makes it easier to predict the three-dimensional shape that will result from a given DNA template. While the software doesn't fully automate the design process, ...
