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, ...

Novel insight into the “Sareh twist” suggests that this mechanism underlying origami tessellations could become a key element in the design of origami-inspired structures for science and engineering ...

A versatile origami fold could be the key to creating just about any structure, from the nanoscale to full-scale buildings, according to new engineering research out this week. A team at Harvard says ...

The folding of origami structures involves bending deformations that are not explicit in the crease pattern. Silverberg and co-authors found that to properly model the folding of the square-twist ...

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: ...

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 ...
