Origami can turn a flat sheet of paper into complex 3-D shapes like birds and flowers and frogs. Scientists at Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab are taking the art of paper folding to a new ...

Origami-inspired bots that can fold into a number of different shapes have been developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Think of origami and you may imagine delicate paper cranes or fortune tellers. But the art of folding paper to create 3D shapes has been used to make a flexible robot. Roboticists have shown off two ...

This self-folding robot goes from flat to fast (sort of) in just four minutes. Using flat materials and origami-inspired patterns, researchers have designed a real-life transformer that can assemble ...

Researchers develop an ingestible origami robot that has demonstrated the ability to unfold and retrieve a button battery from a simulated stomach. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

The world's smallest origami bird — which is just 60 microns wide, or 20 times smaller than a single grain of sand — has been created by researchers from the US. Made from sheets only some 30 atoms ...

A new kind of hollow, pea-sized robot can roll, flip and jump to navigate its surroundings. It can transition from dry surfaces to pools of liquid with ease, making it fully amphibious. Its ability to ...

Origami has been surprisingly prominent in science news of late, with this latest art project the smallest story to date. Scientists in the US claim to have successfully folded a single sheet of ...
