Miles Wu folded a variant of the Miura-ori pattern that can hold 10,000 times its own weight Ramsha Waseem | Freelance writer Wu’s innovation won the top prize of $25,000 at the 2025 Thermo Fisher ...

Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those of ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding. The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b) to achieve helical bending (c) and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

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 patterns, ...

A study published in Nature Communications presents a way to create deployable structures that transform from compact folded states into expansive configurations with perfectly smooth surfaces.

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...

A three-legged shelter dog is getting a new lease on life thanks to a high school robotics whiz and the 3D printed prosthetic leg she dreamed up to help the pooch get adopted more easily. The ...
