“Studying Genomic Origami"
with Miriam Huntley

Le Laboratoire Cambridge 650 East Kendall Street Cambridge, MA 02142 How is it that every cell inside our body has the exact same DNA, and yet an eye cell performs a very different function from a blood cell? It turns out that different cells fold up their DNA in different ways, much in the same way an origami artist will fold up the same piece of paper in different ways in order to create different shapes. I'll talk about some of our recent work done in the Aiden Lab which sheds light on the exciting mystery of how the genome folds. Miriam Huntley is a doctoral student at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. View the Aiden Lab's unique video explaining their research here

The Challenge of Manufacturing Between Macro and Micro

Classic ways of folding paper into dynamic shapes—origami, pop-up books—inspire methods to engineer millimeter-scale machines.  Robert J. Wood

In the current trend toward miniaturization, the sizes in between “normal” and “microscopic” get a bit neglected. Wood discusses various methods that his group has developed to construct electromechanical devices with feature sizes in the millimeter range, which he calls the meso-scale. He particularly describes work on devices inspired by children’s pop-up books, where items are formed flat using laser cutting and then folded into 3D shapes. By sandwiching layers and using movable folds, Wood can create functional devices such as small flying robots, surgical instruments, or environmental sensors.
