Mathematician Richard Evan Schwartz discovered how to make an origami torus with the least folding possible. The tent-shaped ...

A $2,500 pair of humanoid robot legs built from 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelf components is not going to win marathons ...

Wearing a look of deep concentration, Muhammad Ilham Shah Mahiyuddin carefully folds a sheet of paper. Soon, it transforms into a ketupat. Rather than create the usual cranes and frogs associated with ...

DENVER (KDVR) — A bill aimed at cracking down on 3D-printed gun components and rapid-fire devices has passed the Colorado House and now heads to the Senate. The legislation comes after incidents like ...

The purpose of today’s post is to provide you with a meticulously curated list featuring some of what I believe are the best origami apps out there. The apps provide a wide variety of video tutorials, ...

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 ...
