Origami and kirigami have inspired a multidisciplinary team of engineers and architects to apply these ancient paper-folding art techniques to geometric principles and thereby create living ...

Princeton engineers are twisting, stretching and creasing structures to create a new type of origami, one that changes its ...

The show is filled with examples of everyday products that resulted from the simple act of folding a piece of paper. The smartphone is one such product.

Researchers also constructed bloom patterns out of other materials, such as 3D printed plastics. Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different ...

Kazuya Katagiri's award-winning Shi-An is a movable mini tea house constructed entirely out of paper using ancient Origami processes. The igloo-like structure is just one of Katagiri's fascinating ...

An architecture student has devised a clever way to build strong, stable vaulted floors using far less concrete and steel than usual, with a novel formwork design inspired by origami.

Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid ...

Origami — the art of making various shapes from a single piece of paper — has been realized at the nanoscale using DNA. Sheets of ‘DNA wireframe paper’ have been developed that, through ...
