The art of origami goes back centuries — enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...

Researchers at Brigham Young University have discovered a new class of origami patterns called bloom patterns, which resemble ...

NEW YORK - An origami exhibit at Cooper Union college that features the work of 88 artists from around the world reveals the outer limits of paper folding and its breathtaking range of possibilities.

Researchers have created a new type of origami that can morph from one pattern into a different one, or even a hybrid of two patterns, instantly altering many of its structural characteristics.

Say goodbye to those clunky, nuts-and-bolts robots. The robots of tomorrow will be as flexible as paper. That's what researchers from MIT, Harvard University and Cornell University hope. A team of ...

PROVO — Brigham Young University student Kelvin (Zhongyuan) Wang's love of paper folding just led to a discovery that added a new chapter to an art form that can trace its roots back hundreds of years ...

Using Kresling origami, researchers made a robotic arm able to mimic the flexibility and motion of an octopus limb. Now, researchers have combined observations of octopuses with the ancient practice ...

Origami: It’s not just art anymore. Engineers are harnessing the Japanese art of paper-folding to build in smarter, more efficient ways. A team of researchers designed a self-folding robot that can ...
