High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

Someone has created a game that takes advantage of your folding phone’s hinge. The game is an origami simulator called “Kami.” The project is free, available online, and it’s open-source, so anyone ...

The big thinkers at Aperture explore origami and the mathematical art of paper folding. Denmark facing "decisive moment" over Trump Greenland threat Trump says credit card firms violate law if rates ...

Just as a misshapen key can't open a lock, the proteins in our cells need to have the correct 3D shape to function properly. And defects in a protein's structure can cause diseases. Proteins are ...

The earwig’s delicate, paper-thin wings open to more than ten times their folded size, thanks to its origami-like creases. ETH ZÜRICH and Purdue University Image As the microscopic, tear-shaped ...

When Larissa Novelino began her engineering career, she never imagined she’d spend her days folding paper. “I was never the crafty, artistic type,” Novelino said. “My mom still can’t believe I ended ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

Bloom-patterned origami created by Brigham Young University student Kelvin Wang are pictured. One could ascertain that most origami patterns have been discovered because it has been an art form for ...

A new family of origami shapes that unfold like flower petals could be used to design more effective structures in space, like telescopes or solar panels. Origami structures, based on the Japanese ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

BYU Engineering is well known for origami-inspired research and innovations, including foldable antenna systems used in space. Recently, an undergraduate student made a significant discovery—a new ...
