Bloom-patterned origami created by Brigham Young University student Kelvin Wang are pictured. One could ascertain that most origami patterns have been discovered because it has been an art form for ...

McGill University researchers have discovered a new way to fold flat sheets into smooth, curved shells that can switch from ...

Some 20 years or so, various individuals recognised that the problem of folding a square sheet of paper into an arbitrary 3D shape had many similarities to problems in computational geometry. These ...

PROVO — Brigham Young University student Kelvin (Zhongyuan) Wang's love of paper folding just led to a discovery that added a new chapter to an art form that can trace its roots back hundreds of years ...

While most 14-year-olds are folding paper airplanes, Miles Wu is folding origami patterns that he believes could one day improve disaster relief. The New York City teen just won $25,000 for a research ...

In 1970, an astrophysicist named Koryo Miura conceived what would become one of the most well-known and well-studied folds in origami: the Miura-ori. The pattern of creases forms a tessellation of ...

Researchers have created a new type of origami that can morph from one pattern into a different one, or even a hybrid of two patterns, instantly altering many of its structural characteristics.

Using Kresling origami, researchers made a robotic arm able to mimic the flexibility and motion of an octopus limb. Now, researchers have combined observations of octopuses with the ancient practice ...

Engineers have long sought ways to fabricate three-dimensional structures from flat stock materials without ...

Researchers have devised a method for using an origami-based structure to create radio frequency filters that have adjustable dimensions, enabling the devices to change which signals they block ...
