University of Washington (UW) scientists have introduced a remarkable advancement in micro-robotics, crafting battery-free, tiny robots inspired by the folding patterns of leaves. University of ...

These could be the stuff of nightmares — if they weren’t so damn cute. Scientists at the University of Washington have developed adorable little electronic “microfliers,” the size of a postage stamp, ...

University of Washington scientists have built a battery-free flying robot that stabilizes its descent by changing shape in mid-air—a design that was inspired by origami, according to a recent paper ...

Small robotic devices have been developed by researchers at the University of Washington that can modify the way they fly through the air by folding themselves into a more compact form while they are ...

Origami — the art of making various shapes from a single piece of paper — has been realized at the nanoscale using DNA. Sheets of ‘DNA wireframe paper’ have been developed that, through folding along ...
