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”.

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty.

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.

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

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

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 ...

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