Just google’d it and found a picture of the little guy’s we used to make to hold the rest of the orange. Actually he was usually squashed beneath it but this works.
We used to do this as kids. You know, before there were smartphones. Looks like it’s come a long way since then though.
I still like the idea of simple activities to pass the time.
The idea of folding DNA to create arbitrary two- and three-dimensional shapes at the nanoscale just blows my mind. Not sure who thought of it first but this idea and it’s future applications are going to go a long way. More info about it here.
Applications of DNA origami in science, medicine, and engineering
DNA origami nanotechnology can be used to construct nanorobots, to study molecular interactions, to develop drug delivery methods, and for many other purposes.
In the 15 years since the technique was first reported the field has grown massively. Nature Video finds out how DNA origami works and what has been achieved so far. Watch this video from a while back.
Different idea, I know but just posting this link as it’s another use for orange peel.

A deeper look, great video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek-FDPymyyg
Didn’t realise this was a thing. Amazing.

Pretty much an unrelated link but I used these instructions to make our school kids a double helix for educational purposes.
