3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University relied on principles of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, to develop an original and innovative solution for a problem troubling researchers worldwide: ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

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).

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D printing to ...
