Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

A cacophony of barking alerts me to the cardboard box delivered to my front door. Packed inside is a single sheet of white corrugated plastic folded into what looks like a large suitcase. My canine ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

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, ...

With this method, they have created a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light The new photonic crystals could play an important role for applications in data processing, energy ...

In contrast to lithographic techniques, the LMU team uses a method called DNA origami to design and synthesize building blocks, which then self-assemble into a specific lattice structure. “It’s long ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science, researchers from Ludwig-Maximilian-University utilized DNA origami to construct a diamond lattice with a periodicity spanning hundreds of nanometers ...

Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...

Using DNA origami, LMU researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers – a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. The shimmering of ...

(Nanowerk News) The shimmering of butterfly wings in bright colors does not emerge from pigments. Rather, it is photonic crystals that are responsible for the play of colors. Their periodic ...
