A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

An artistic depiction of the nanopore electro-osmotic trap (NEOtrap), formed by a DNA-origami sphere docked onto a solid-state nanopore. The leaky DNA origami plug stops protein flow through a ...

Mechanical engineers have devised a technique of 'crystal capillary origami' where salt crystals spontaneously encapsulate liquid droplets. The process offers a new method of nanostructure ...
