Origami structures can act as atoms and combine according to pre-defined rules to form functional molecules, according to new work by researchers at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The structures could not only be used as the reactive building blocks for a variety of chemical reactions, such as cleavage, isomerization, rearrangement, ligation or substitutions, but also as stimuli-responsive nanomaterials for controlled drug delivery………
