Researchers have discovered how to use a well-known origami folding pattern called the Miura-ori to control fundamental physical properties of any thin sheet of material. The Miura-ori, which consists ...

Scientists at Georgia Tech have figured out how to create origami from light, no hands required. All the technique uses is a PowerPoint slide, a projector, and some resin. Georgia Tech mechanical ...

Engineers use techniques from Origami to design spacecraft components, medical robots and antenna arrays. Researchers have developed a system to explain the rules that govern some of these key ...

For the first time, load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules—versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes, a new study shows.
