In recent years, scientists have begun to harness DNA's powerful molecular machinery to build artificial structures at the nanoscale using the natural ability of pairs of DNA molecules to assemble ...

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 ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...

Super Bowl 2024 is finally here. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The annual tradition of Super Bowl squares lives on and The Post has you ...

In 1936, the British mathematician Alan Turing came up with an idea for a universal computer. It was a simple device: an infinite strip of tape covered in zeros and ones, together with a machine that ...

It’s an ancient form of art, but now origami is providing modern solutions in the fields of space, engineering, mathematics and medicine. For one Canadian aerospace engineer, origami and its ability ...

“Origami in the Garden,” a traveling exhibition of large-scale, origami-inspired metal sculptures begun in 2014 by the husband-and-wife team of Kevin Box (BFA 1999 Fine Arts) and Jennifer Box, is ...

The cover story in this month’s issue of National Geographic explores how origami, a centuries-old art of paper folding, is being put to use to blaze new trails in science and technology, particularly ...
