Many of us could happily fold a paper crane, yet few feel confident solving an equation like x³ – 3 x² – x + 3 = 0, to find a value for x. Both activities, however, share similar skills: precision, ...
The latest advance in solid-state nanopore sensors -- devices that are made with standard tools of the semiconductor industry yet can offer single-molecule sensitivity for label-free protein screening ...
Origami artist Robert Lang combines mathematics and paper folding to inspire innovations in engineering and design.
Researchers have demonstrated a way to manufacture minuscule closed containers that might be used to deliver precise micro- or even nano-quantities of drugs. First the scientists create flat patterns, ...
This illustration shows how a DNA origami nanoplate with a central aperture can serve as a smart lid or "gatekeeper" for a solid-state nanopore sensor. Researchers at the Technische Universitaet ...
