Origami has inspired the design of structures with unique properties, finding a huge range of potential uses, including soft robots and stretchable electronics. Now researchers from Georgia Institute ...

Hirogami is a 3D action platformer inspired by the ancient Japanese art of origami (paper folding). Everything you encounter has been crafted to convey the physical, often fragile, natural world of ...

3D micro-/nanofabrication holds the key to build a large variety of micro-/nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and systems with unique properties that do not manifest in their 2D planar ...

This novel fabrication process makes lightweight, expandable, 3D structures. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D printing to ...

Hey all you lazy and forgetful — but still thoughtful — romantics out there. Need a quick and easy idea to charm your significant other with this Valentine’s Day gift that says you’re crafty but don’t ...

"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 ...

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 ...

The simplicity and elegance of origami, an ancient Japanese art form, has motivated researchers to explore its application in the world of materials. New research from an interdisciplinary team, ...
