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, ...

Programmable stiff sheets with a single low-energy folding motion have been sought in fields ranging from the ancient art of origami to modern meta-materials research. Despite such attention, only two ...

Smooth operator: Morph can shift between eggbox and Miura-ori origami patterns. (Courtesy: Allison Carter) An origami folding pattern that produces a highly-tuneable metamaterial has been discovered ...

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 ...

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 ...

A cacophony of barking alerts me to the cardboard box delivered to my front door. Packed inside is a single sheet of white corrugated plastic folded into what looks like a large suitcase. My canine ...

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 ...
