From shipping and construction to outer space, origami could put a folded twist on structural engineering. Researchers have developed a new 'zippered tube' configuration that makes paper structures ...

Using cellulose nanofibers from wood, researchers have made paper that can be tuned using a slow heat treatment to be effective semiconductors, some almost as conductive as metals (ACS Nano 2022, DOI: ...

After completing their initial test, all the other teams moved their paper structures to a second desk, where they were instructed to pile on very heavy textbooks until their paper structure collapsed ...

Paper, being a light and foldable raw material, is a cost-efficient and simple means of generating electrically conducting structures. Paper, being a light and foldable raw material, is a ...

Origami has inspired the design of structures with unique properties, finding a huge range of potential uses, including soft robots and stretchable electronics. Now researchers from Georgia Institute ...
