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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Because DNA's makeup is determined by a simple set of rules (A pairs with T, C pairs with G), applying shape grammars to DNA origami was an easy choice for the research team, who created such ...
