We introduce soft folding, a new interactive method for designing and exploring thin-plate forms. A user specifies sharp and soft folds as two-dimensional(2D) curves on a flat sheet, along with the ...
However, researchers at Carnegie Mellon have found a way to harness that tendency to warp with heat to make self-folding structures like those seen in the video below. There’s a paper about how ...
While part of the barrier to the folding of small proteins thus appears to be enthalpic, α-lytic protease, a protein with a huge free energy barrier to folding, actually has a negative activation ...
Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...
Want to start your own collection of retro computers, for free? Well graphic designer [Rocky Bergen]’s collection of paper craft models might be the answer. [Rocky] has designed over a dozen ...
Place your paper down and decide which way you are going to fold it You can fold it up the way, down the way or from one side to the other. Choose what feels easiest and will give you the hole ...
This fundamental research aims to understand and control the self-folding behavior of weft knit textiles to harness this inherent property of the knot structure for development of novel engineered ...
