Scientists have created a working nanoscale electomotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a ...

For decades, this question has bewildered biologists. Now, by studying Placozoa, scientists at Stanford University have ...

Animation has always enjoyed a devoted following, but 2025’s releases revealed that its audience is bigger and broader than most of us thought. In a tough year for most live-action releases, one of ...

Miles Wu, 14, won a $25,000 award for his research project combining origami and physics. He measured the weight that Miura-ori origami patterns can hold across various benchmarks. Wu said the pattern ...

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started ...

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 ...

The animation industry has always been labor-intensive, blending artistry, innovation, and technology to bring stories to life. Now, a new technological shift, generative AI (genAI), is sparking ...

FLETCHER - In a back warehouse of the Fletcher Business Park, a set of walls and windows are stacked onto one another, lying flat like a birthday card. Quickly, Compact Cottages' employees push up two ...

It's been just about a year since Origami Angel hit us with the phenomenal Feeling Not Found. Today the hard-rocking yet maniacally catchy emo duo is back with their contribution to Cosmic Debris Vol.

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

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, ...
