single-stranded components to first create origami joints capable of simple angular (a hinge) and linear (a slider) motion. These joints could then be integrated to form devices capable of


more complex motion such as a crank–slider, which uses three hinges and one slider joint, and a Bennett linkage, which uses four hinges and can transition between a compact bundle and an


open frame. Castro and colleagues also show that the Bennett linkage can be made to undergo reversible conformational changes using DNA input strands. _OV_ This is a preview of subscription
