An engineer at Stanford University has created a DIY microscope, called the Foldscope, that is fashioned out of a single piece of printed-and-folded A4 paper, origami-style. This paper-based ...

The Foldscope, a microscope that's made of paper can provide 140 times magnification - and only costs $20. The origami-inspired design makes the microscope affordable and quick and easy to assemble, ...

In the 1960s, most computers took up an entire room. Faster computers now find themselves on the wrists of people all over the world. As devices get smaller, humanity seems to be on track to create ...

A Caltech scientist has taken the art of origami to a new level -- using DNA instead of paper. Computer scientist Paul Rothemund said Wednesday that he had woven DNA strands into two-dimensional ...

Researchers have developed a low-cost, origami-inspired microscope called the Foldscope. The device costs just pennies to produce and can provide up to 2,000x magnification. Scientists and educators ...

Researchers working at the California Institute of Technology used DNA nanotechnology, also known as DNA origami, to "paint" Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece. DNA origami involves folding a single long ...

Researchers have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes -- 'microbot origami' -- to change their shape when actuated by a magnetic field and then, ...
