But one of the key hurdles when bringing origami or kirigami to engineering is that these techniques often make things rather ...

In a discovery that reshapes how scientists understand liquids, researchers have shown that microscopic oil droplets suspended in water can fold themselves into precise, six-pointed star shapes while ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have just published a paper on creating modular tubular origami machines which they call “Kinegami”, a portmanteau of “kinematic” and “origami”. The idea ...

Origami might seem like an unlikely source of inspiration for scientists and engineers, yet the centuries-old Japanese art of paper folding is behind all sorts of new innovations. That’s because ...
