Scientists have created origami-style graphene paper that can fold itself away. The breakthrough was made after scientists discovered a method of using heat and infrared light to move a thin graphene ...

Engineers from Oxford University have used the principles of origami to create the first rigid, flat-folding shopping bag with a rectangular base. The project started off as a mathematical curiosity ...

Origami just got microscopic – and autonomous. It’s now possible to select the best flat starting shapes for making tiny boxes that build themselves. This is tough as the number of possible 2D ...

Tubular structures that fold flat for storage may not take up much room in that form, but they also tend not to be very strong when deployed. That isn't a problem with an experimental new type of tube ...

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, ...
