A new algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure. In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then ...

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

Paper folding is an engaging and fun activity for the whole family that can increase STEAM skills in children. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics and refers to a ...

There’s no denying its elegant beauty, but the importance of a designer’s dress pattern seems inconsequential among the examples of how the art of origami has played a role in engineering, ...

The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

Physical gel models and numerical simulations have been created to study ferret brain gyrification and cortical malformations, while comparisons with human phenotypes aim to link genetics and brain ...

In a 1999 paper, Erik Demaine -- now an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science, but then an 18-year-old PhD student at the University of Waterloo, in Canada -- described an ...
