Scientists Harness Chemical Reactions to Make Self-Folding Microscale Origami Machines

A Cornell-led collaboration harnessed chemical reactions to make microscale origami machines self-fold – freeing them from the liquids in which they usually function, so they can operate in dry environments and at room temperature.
