Engineers have long sought ways to fabricate three-dimensional structures from flat stock materials without ...

Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different shapes for use in space. These structures are expected to be even more compact and reliable.

Professor Uehara from JAIST works at the intersection of theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, and the art of solving puzzles. His research strives to understand the computational ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For centuries, origami, the ancient art of paper folding, was used to create decorative figures for crafts and artwork. In recent decades however, origami principles have inspired ...

The researchers found that, contrary to how it’s depicted in most textbooks, chromatin does not fold in on itself in an organized manner to create distinct structures. Instead, it forms a pliable, ...

In the context of phenomena, a fold refers to a localized, often nonlinear deformation pattern in a material or field, characterized by the systematic bending, buckling, or pleating of an initially ...

From solar panels to nanoscale machines, physics applications of origami and kirigami have surged in recent years. Simon Perks reports (Courtesy: iStock/Li Kim Goh) We’ve all admired the delicate ...
