New Polymer Shapeshifts Into Complex Origami Shapes Researchers at China’s Zhejiang University have created an experimental thermal polymer plastic that, when exposed to heat, can fold itself ...
Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This artist creates intricate origami designs that change shapes. Jasen Zhang uses modular-origami techniques to make them. Each shape is made of ...
In this method—which he termed 'origami'—a long DNA molecule is folded into a predesigned shape by short oligonucleotide 'staples'. The components are heat-denatured, and they then self ...
