The ancient Japanese art of paper-folding, or origami, is already inspiring the design of the next generation of space ...

Researchers also constructed bloom patterns out of other materials, such as 3D printed plastics. Scientists are exploring a ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty.

Based on the work of a student at Brigham Young University, origami theorists have unlocked a new set of patterns that could ...

The new algorithm - based on an earlier, weaker version - models 3D surfaces as small, flat facets and maps these onto a flat surface to create a complex “crease pattern”.

Origami robotics: Here’s how to fold your own ‘metamaterial’ at home Scientists studying the Miura-ori origami pattern have found it has reversible, programmable properties.

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have appropriated a less-common technique of origami known as "collapse"-type, in which all folds are carried out more or less simultaneously ...

A professor at MIT has completed an 18-year-long origami quest to develop a universal algorithm that could generate the paper-folding patterns required to produce any 3D structure with the ...

By merging the ancient art of origami with 21st century technology, researchers have created a one-step approach to fabricating complex origami structures whose light weight, expandability, and ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom ...
