And this stent folds down using an origami pattern, based on a model called the water bomb base.

They're embedded with mechanical electrical devices, sensors.

Remember that gateleg table? When we wanted to use it, you said...

I came here in the jump seat of a C130 with turbulence.

He folded his paper, consulting his watch.

A single strand dipped in water that completely self folds on its own into the letters M I T.

Yellow, pink, blue. Yellow, pink, blue. Yellow, pink, huh.

And it works perfectly on its test range, and it indeed folds up into a neat little bundle.

String matching in general is commonly used for dealing with computational biology

So when you shake the chain, it then folds up into any configuration that you've programmed in so in this case, a spiral, or in this case, two cubes next to each other.

Now let's see it in action.

The telescope, going up in space, it unfolds in two places.

Folded feminine hands.

The interesting thing is that if you change the sequence, you change the three dimensional folding.

But on the other side, if you look at the natural systems, we have proteins that have two million types, can fold in 10,000 nanoseconds, or DNA with three billion base pairs we can replicate in roughly an hour.

This summer, do not forget your Imagine R card.

And then instructions set, from the brain to every other part of the body

Woman Here father. (Man

When this amino acid sequence gets pronounced as atoms, these little letters are sticky for each other.

Oh, dear, it's a broken wrist.

And like this magnificent origami, cells are developing at one million cells per second at four weeks, as it's just folding on itself.

Teach me how to fold a paper crane. I forgot how to fold it.

That night, when the passengers would be sleeping, he would give it one more fold, and the second day, he would be wearing a fireman's cap with a little shoot just like a designer cap, because it protects the spinal cord.

Every Japanese kid

Now you can just make a little network like this and fold them and stick them together and make an icosahedron.

She folded colored paper into a paper crane.

The airplane is exposed to the atmosphere for the first time.

This is another part, single strand, dipped in a bigger tank that self folds into a cube, a three dimensional structure, on its own.

And we developed a pattern together that scales to arbitrarily large size, but that allows any flat ring or disc to fold down into a very neat, compact cylinder.

After considerable argument, the buyer and the seller finally came to terms.

And this allows us to simulate this self assembly behavior and try to optimize which parts are folding when.

Then we need programmable parts that can take that sequence and use that to fold up, or reconfigure.

These short DNA sequences are what are going to fold the long strand into this shape that we want to make.

Fold, stop. Brakes.

I broke my wrist when I fell on it.

You broke your arm once before, remember?

Better bend than break.

Audience Shake.

(Video) (Applause)

So in one dimensional systems this is a project called the self folding proteins.

The beam, it broke!

like an old telephone cord.

Guests? Move the moving wall, have some fold down guest beds.

Jack, they're turning left.

And I want to tell you how we did that in origami.
