Origami is a traditional Japanese art form where people create intricate designs by folding paper, but the technique can also keep people alive. Science and engineering professor Richard James and ...

Three DNA origami templates were designed so that quantum dots would arrange themselves (a) in the corners, (b) diagonally (three dots), and (c) in a line (four dots). NIST researchers found that ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...
