Explore the magic of origami, from its rich history to basic folds, and start your paper folding journey with this engaging ...

The authors say that the design of microbot origami mimics nature. "The cube sequence programs the shapes of the folding microbots. Proteins work in the same way," Shields said.

Sequence-encoded colloidal origami and microbot assemblies from patchy magnetic cubes. Science Advances, 2017; 3 (8): e1701108 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1701108 ...

The NC State researchers assembled hollow, plastic cubes using a 3D printer and assembled 36 of them together with rotating hinges; some hinges were fixed with metal pins, while others were activated ...

Ghostkubes are origami-inspired, shape-shifting building blocks. Connected by hinges, these cubes can be manipulated in a variety of ways.

Researchers have developed a way to assemble and pre-program tiny structures made from microscopic cubes to change their shape when actuated by a magnetic field and then, using the magnetic energy ...

The researchers were able to move the cubes into more than 1,000 shapes using only three active motors. Those shapes included tunnel-like structures, bridge-like structures and even multi-story ...
