BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...

Back in 1999, Erik Demaine was a PhD student who created an algorithm that determined the folding patterns necessary to turn a piece of paper into any 3D shape. However, the algorithm was far from ...

"What we have here is the proof of concept of an integrated system for manufacturing complex origami. It has tremendous potential applications," said Glaucio H. Paulino, a professor at the School of ...

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University has created a new 3D-printing method that builds paper-thin ...

Some 20 years or so, various individuals recognised that the problem of folding a square sheet of paper into an arbitrary 3D shape had many similarities to problems in computational geometry. These ...

Maksud Rahman, University of Houston assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, has created a new ceramic material that can bend - but not break - with applications ranging from ...

Researchers develop a new 3D-printing method to create ultra-thin magnetic films that bring origami-based soft robots to life ...
