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 ...

In the intricate and delicate folds of origami, lies not just an ancient art form, but the unfolding future of aerospace engineering. This traditional Japanese practice of paper folding, dating back ...

1. Take a rectangular origami paper and fold it in half. 2. Then fold it partially, to make a crease on top. 3. Fold the two upper corners to form a triangle. 4. Now fold both the bottom layers of the ...

For Richard Gordon, origami is like a piece of music. While an individual fold may not be particularly impressive, many together can make the paper sing. A floppy sheet can transform into a flapping ...

High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

Researchers have developed a new computer-aided approach that streamlines the design process for origami-based structures, making it easier for engineers and scientists to conceptualize new ideas ...

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

Researchers categorize origami- and kirigami-based mechanical metamaterials, artificially engineered materials with unusual mechanical properties, and subdivided them into rigid or deformable ...
