Researchers have developed a new computer-aided approach that streamlines the design process for origami-based structures, making it easier for engineers and scientists to conceptualize new ideas ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

You don’t often think of origami, the tactile, super-analog art of paper folding, as high-tech. Paper cranes have about as much in common with computer science as, say, tie-dye and jet propulsion. But ...

A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that exactly match user-drawn shapes using generative AI. The generative design ...

Just as the name suggests, DNA origami is a fabrication technique wherein researchers fold DNA strands to create precisely shaped 2- and 3-dimensional nanostructures. These highly programmable ...

The CanDo (computer-aided engineering for DNA origami) program can convert a 2-D DNA origami blueprint into a complex 3-D shape, seen here. Image: Do-Nyun Kim A major hurdle to these increasingly ...

Protein engineer Aaron Chevalier has a hunch that origami—on a smaller scale—could be the future of drug design. So he and a team here at the University of Washington spend their days designing ...
