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

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”.

BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space ...

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 ...

Origami Crease Pattern Design Proved NP-Hard Origamists have long suspected their art is computationally hard. Now they’ve proved it.

To do that, the team 3D printed a ceramic structure based on the Miura-ori origami pattern – which is a way to fold something flat, like paper, so it takes up less space but stays flat overall ...

Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different shapes for use in space ...

Researchers used origami principles to position sensors in 3D-bioprinted tissue models. An origami-inspired structure folds around tissue, enabling precise sensor placement.
