Living organisms have always kickstarted lots of new innovative technical designs.

[{ "selector": ".cnmut-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 344px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

putting scientists on the hunt for the next big thing! This time, it was the clover plant (Oxalis corniculata).

[{ "selector": ".gjknt-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 305px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Engineering experts at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have created an origami microfluidic system

[{ "selector": ".kltud-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 300px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

that can adapt to changes in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and humidity.

[{ "selector": ".awdic-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 300px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The device’s responsive movement follows the preset origami folds thanks to its foldable design.

[{ "selector": ".aludx-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 300px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

This ground-breaking engineering concept was featured on the cover of Science Advances.

[{ "selector": ".bonqd-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 260px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

The research team was supervised by Professor Anderson Ho Cheung Shum and led by Dr Yi Pan.

[{ "selector": ".fsxwx-a", "duration": "750ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 381px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

To underscore the tight connection between its change and the origami structure.
