The ancient arts of origami, the art of paper-folding, and kirigami, the art of paper-cutting, have gained popularity in recent years among researchers building mechanical metamaterials. Folding and ...
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have appropriated a less-common technique of origami known as "collapse"-type, in which all folds are carried out more or less simultaneously, to ...

MIT’s origami-inspired metal design builds strong structures without heavy welding
MIT researchers have developed a scalable, origami-based construction system. It uses modular building blocks ...
From new ways of surgically reducing the stomachs of obese patients to paper sensors that test for malaria to the eye-catching facade of Barclays Capital Bank's new Parisian headquarters, we've been ...
The hell of constructing flat-packed furniture by hand could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new self-locking design technique that can hold thousands of times its own weight. The design is a ...
There’s something so soothing and therapeutic about the Japanese art of Origami. Some may say it’s simply folding paper, but it is much more than that. Though I may not be very good at it, almost ...
An curved arrow pointing right. Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: This artist creates intricate origami designs that change shapes. Jasen Zhang uses modular-origami techniques to make ...
3D-printed twisted tower robot has applications in manufacturing, medicine and space. An engineer has turned the origami she enjoyed as a child into a patent-pending soft robot that may one day be ...
Researchers categorize origami- and kirigami-based mechanical metamaterials, artificially engineered materials with unusual mechanical properties, and subdivided them into rigid or deformable ...
