One of our tipsters just sent us a link to some fascinating videos on a new style of rapid prototyping — Laser Origami! The concept is fairly simple, but beautifully executed in the included videos. A ...

Researchers devised an origami-inspired paper device as a low-cost, rapid field test for infectious diseases in resource-limited settings. Healthcare workers require low-cost, rapid field tests to ...

An interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers at Vanderbilt University headed by Stevenson Professor of Chemistry David Wright has designed a new kind of rapid diagnostic test for malaria that ...

An origami sensor is printed on a single piece of paper, folded into a three-dimensional fluidic device, and encapsulated by thermal lamination. Aptamer is trapped in the fluidic channel, where it ...

Researchers have developed an innovative new method for identifying biomarkers in wastewater using origami-paper sensors, enabling the tracking of infectious diseases using the camera in a mobile ...

A few months ago, Facebook released a bit of open-source code called Origami, which lets designers create and test user interfaces without any coding. Now, Ideo has released a free sequel. The design ...

New research details how origami structures and bio-inspired design can be used to create a crawling robot. New research from a team of University of Illinois Mechanical Science and engineering ...

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, pretty much everybody is familiar with this technology: paper-based rapid test strips, also called lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs). They enable easy detection of ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have just published a paper on creating modular tubular origami machines which they call “Kinegami”, a portmanteau of “kinematic” and “origami”. The idea ...
