Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, has received considerable attention in engineering. By applying paper-folding principles, researchers have created compact structures that are ...

The teenager was researching the Miura-ori fold when Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and wildfires raged in Southern California. “I thought maybe these origami patterns, which are strong and ...

Load-bearing structures like bridges and shelters can be made with origami modules -- versatile components that can fold compactly and adapt into different shapes -- engineers have demonstrated. For ...

A collaborative research team called MoonMars is developing a simple, versatile way of building off-world habitats using origami. Made of high-performance textiles, the origami bases could be ...

Design by Sara Fang. Buy this photo. Origami is the art of paper folding, where people can make cranes, flowers and other objects out of paper. But Evgueni Filipov, associate professor of civil and ...

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.

An origami-inspired tent had to be flexible enough to inflate, but sturdy enough to withstand the elements. (Image courtesy of Benjamin Gorissen/David Melancon/Harvard SEAS) Applied mathematics ...

ASU researchers have designed a new method for developing load-bearing structures using a unique method: origami. Origami is not only the art of paper-folding, but is also used more widely to describe ...

Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials. (Nanowerk News) Stretchable electronics are ...

Modern satellites rely on electromagnetic waveguides—hollow structures that carry high-power signals between components such ...
