Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

The art of origami goes back centuries -- enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...

Origami-based structures have been used to create deployable solar arrays for space, adaptable acoustic systems for symphony halls and even crash protection systems for flying drones. Now researchers ...

Jackson isn't a scientist, but he is aware of the many places that folds appear in nature, from DNA and vital proteins, to geometric folding that changes the space we live in. Jackson is one of a ...

Something like a small paper container ... ... It opens in a flash. A foldable structure like an accordion Various patterns are born from one sheet of paper, such as ...

Researchers have created a new type of origami that can morph from one pattern into a different one, or even a hybrid of two patterns, instantly altering many of its structural characteristics.
