Learn from Meenakshi Mukerji about how modular origami combines individually folded “units” into complex shapes; find out how to make and modify shapes. $19.95–$29.95, 415- 528-4444, exploratorium.edu ...

The sensor uses a DNA origami scaffold, which consists of two arms connected by a molecular “hinge.” Each arm is tagged with a fluorescent dye, and the distance between the tags is recorded by means ...

If a soft-bodied robot uses rigid actuators to move its body, then it isn't really soft now, is it? An experimental new caterpillar-inspired bot gets around that conundrum by using soft, collapsible ...

Picture a robot. You’re probably imagining something metallic, with rigid joints and whirring motors. But what if robots could be soft and squishy? Soft robotics is a fascinating field where engineers ...

A plug-and-play soft modular origami robot is introduced, enabled by electrothermal actuation with highly bendable heaters. The heater, based on a stretchable silver nanowire conductor, exhibits large ...

Modular origami is an engaging, artistic craft that transforms simple paper sheets into intricate, three-dimensional models. With patience and practice, you can create stunning sculptures for personal ...
