In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under ...

Origami, the Japanese art of folding flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional figures, is the creative spark behind a new ...

Researchers have developed a technique to fold glass sheets into microscopic 3D photonic structures directly on a chip—a process they call photonic origami. The method could enable tiny, yet complex ...

Broad-beam ion etching folds flat nanostructures into 3D photonic devices across a 4-inch wafer while preserving speed, uniformity, and optical function. (Nanowerk Spotlight) 3D photonic devices face ...

If you’ve done much 3D printing, you probably curse how plastic warps as it cools down and heats. There’s nothing more upsetting than watching a six hour print start curling off the bed and starting ...

"What we have here is the proof of concept of an integrated system for manufacturing complex origami. It has tremendous potential applications," said Glaucio H. Paulino, a professor at the School of ...

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...
